Organise a virtual race
As we all find ourselves responding to the challenge of spending more time at home and not being able to run as we would normally, there is an opportunity to embrace the world of virtual racing by creating virtual events.
A virtual event is where athletes and runners compete virtually, usually aiming to run for a specified distance or a specified timeframe over the course of the designated race window.
Race Directors and Event Organisers must ensure that runners are encouraged to follow all relevant guidance from the government, police and our sport when participating in virtual racing.
Runners should be encouraged to consider the time of day and period of time they exercise, carefully select their route, and apply social distancing to stay clear/give priority to pedestrians and people using public spaces.
Full guidance on organising a virtual race can be found in this document.
Why do I need a virtual event licence?
Insurance is still necessary for virtual events as it is not possible for an Event Organiser to contract out liability relating to any possible injury that participants may incur while taking part in a virtual event.
Virtual events and races will be covered under UKA Insurance if the organisation is affiliated to the HCAF and the race is licenced.
The race will be listed on the runbritain Race Listing Pages.
Race details (including link to race organisers website) will be added to the Powerof10/runbritainrankings fixtures list and once available, the race organisers official results URL will be published.
