Make Your Own Course
NYRR’s Virtual Racing Powered by Strava platform is transforming organized racing as we know it. Freed from geographical limits, runners from around the globe can all take part in the same race in new and exciting ways.
Now, even when we run alone, we run together. Because no matter where we start, we all end on the same leaderboard.
What is a Virtual Race?
A virtual race is a race that can be run anywhere, anytime during a specified period of time. You make your own course. Sign up for a free Strava account, register for a virtual race, and run or walk the virtual race distance on a course you create, wherever you are.

What is Strava?
Strava is the social network for athletes. Strava's website and mobile apps bring athletes together from all walks of life and inspire them to unlock their potential—both as individuals and as communities. Creating an account with Strava allows you to record and upload your runs, rides, and other activities, connect your GPS devices, and create a home for your active life.
Why race with NYRR?
When you run with NYRR, you do more than compete in a world-class race—you join a worldwide community of like-minded runners. And now that community is bigger than ever.
With NYRR Virtual Racing Powered by Strava, you also have the opportunity to give back to the community. Proceeds support NYRR's mission to help and inspire people through running, and benefit NYRR’s youth and community programs.
