VIRTUAL RACE TOOL KIT The Akron Marathon will be emailing all runners the week of September 21 with their personalized Virtual Race Tool Kit so make sure to check your inbox! This email will contain customized links that will connect your registration with your results page, provide step by step instructions and more! We encourage you to make this year’s race your own and have developed the following guidelines to answer common questions. When: You can run/walk your race between September 26 – October 31, 2020. How does it work: A Virtual Race is a race you can run at any location, at your pace, outside or on a treadmill. You will run the race distance you registered for and upload your finishing time. We suggest that all runners follow recommendations as provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We ask that you do not use the FirstEnergy Akron Marathon, Half Marathon & Team Relay course route, as it is not pedestrian safe without the usual race day street closures and safety assistance with traffic. Submit your time: You have 2 options to record your time. Again, be sure to check your email the week of September 21 which will include step by step instructions with easy, personalized links to enter your results. Option 1: Track with the Runkeeper app
