How do I access the race once I've registered?
Upon completing your payment, you'll be sent an email containing your registration code(s) along with comprehensive instructions. Simply download the Pacer App, input your join code, and start enjoying your race.
How do Virtual Races work?
1.Register for the virtual race of your choice online and you will receive an email upon payment that includes your registration code and instructions.
2.Access the virtual race by inputting the code in the the Pacer app. Finish the required distance in a single session within the selected period and complete the race. You can record GPS activities and treadmill workouts using Pacer, or sync activities from connected devices / apps. You can also upload proof of your efforts and manually submit results in Pacer.
3.You can decide when you want us to ship your medals. You may choose "no completion, no medal", in which case we will not ship your medal until you have completed your race. Alternatively, you can also ask us to ship your medal at the first available time regardless of your race completion status. You may make your choice at registration checkout.
Do I have to complete the virtual race in one activity workout?
Yes. Working differently than the cumulative-distance challenges, virtual races ask the participants to finish the required distance with ONE single session. We will accept GPS-tracked activities recorded by the Pacer app or connected devices / apps. You may also upload proof of your efforts and manually submit results in Pacer.
How much time do I have to complete a virtual race?
You can complete a virtual race in any month of your choice. When you enter the registration code in the Pacer app, you will be given the option to choose a month in which you wish to complete the race. The registration code never expires. If you wish to change the race month, you can quit and rejoin before the race's end date.
How long does it take to receive my medal?
Medals will be sent out within a week after payment or race/challenge completion depending on which preference you selected at checkout. Once shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details. It usually takes 7-20 business days to deliver depending on your shipping address. Please refer to this article for shipping time details.

1. You need to finish the required distance in ONE single session to complete a virtual race. Make sure that the result you submitted meets the requirement.
