Our Virtual Run and How it Works

• Open to everyone
• Run/walk your own course. You can run 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, or 1k as you would at our Strong Kids Run.
• You have 2 days to complete your chosen event.
• The distance must be completed in 1 attempt. Meaning you can’t break down 20 km into 10 km Saturday and 10 km Sunday.
• Your distance can be measured using Google Maps, a Personal Fitness Tracker like a Fit Bit or Apps such as Map My Run, Just Move, Strava and Run keeper. 
• You can run a route, your driveway, living room or yard. The main idea is to have fun!
• Post a photo, video or your route to one of the social media formats below please include your time and distance (see sample pictures below) :
  Instagram:  mention @ymca_strong_kids_run or use the hashtag #ymcastrongkidsVRrun
  Facebook:  use the @ symbol and mention or tag YMCA of Brandon
  Email your picture to steven.dyce@ymanitoba.ca
• Challenge a friend or business and run our Strong Kids Virtual Run

Be safe! Follow social distancing guidelines in your community, be mindful of traffic and wear appropriate gear.
