Virtual races exploded during the pandemic, but do they still have a place in the running world today? In this episode of the I Don’t Know Running Podcast, Louis and Mitch dive into the debate: Are virtual races just glorified training runs with medals—or do they provide real value, accessibility, and motivation for runners everywhere?
We share our own experiences with virtual marathons, discuss programs like the NYRR Virtual 6 and runDisney’s virtual series, and explore how these events can serve as gateways to in-person races, fundraising opportunities, and community building.
You’ll hear:
The pros and cons of virtual races
Why some runners love the flexibility and inclusivity
Why others say nothing compares to lining up on race day
Whether virtual events are just a fad—or here to stay
👉 What do you think? Are virtual races the future of running, or are they best left in the past? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
