VIRTUAL EVENT INFORMATION

The virtual BTN Big 10K kicks off on Saturday, July 15 and culminates on Saturday, July 22 as Big Ten fans compete with friends and family in the neighborhoods across the city and around the world.

Everyone is encouraged to read the following considerations when planning their virtual race.

• Create a hydration plan for your run to ensure you are drinking enough fluids and utilizing both water and a sports drink to stay hydrated and maintain your sodium levels.

• Pay attention to your local weather forecast and dress for the appropriate weather conditions. Note that conditions may change throughout the duration of your run. If conditions don’t look ideal for your race, follow local guidance and consider participating at a later date.

• When planning your course route, follow guidance from local government and public health officials to safely complete the distance of your choice in your own community. Participants are encouraged to obey traffic signals and identified pedestrian crossings during their run.

• Most importantly, stay within your physical limits and listen to your body during your run. Do not ignore pain and/or discomfort that may result from your participation. If necessary, stop your run and seek medical attention especially if you experience new or persistent symptoms that do not resolve with rest or are abnormal for yourself.
