VIRTUAL RACE OPTIONS

Virtual Options

There are many who have not elected an option to defer or run virtually. If you are planning to run virtually, we'll need you to make that change in order for you to be able to submit your time. If you want to defer, the deadline to defer is April 3. You can change your registration, or check your status by logging into your profile. Please see the change event link for instructions. If you are unable to find the event under your Run Signup profile, please visit the merge profile link for instructions to merge the race into your profile. 

RACE JOY

This option is only available if you intend to run on the actual Dismal Swamp Canal Trail course. You will need to download the app on your phone and carry it with you as you run the actual Dismal Swamp Stomp course. We've enabled this to be active between Monday 3/30 and Sunday 4/5 so that you can practice safe distancing and crowd protocol by running it on your own time. We've added some treats into the app for you as you complete the course. Of course this will be self guided and self supported.  This run is self directed.  Please note that the finish line is marked on the pavement just before you reach the yellow gates onto the trail, and the start is 1/10 of a mile up the trail beyond the bear and adjacent to the first signage on the trail.  The start is also marked in paint.  You will receive notifications from the app at each mile and at the turn around.
