The Virtual edition of Run Army will remain open until sold out.

Safety First
When you participate in the virtual edition of Run Army you must consider your own safety and your own wellbeing before starting. We are not in attendance, and we are not supervising your participation. You accept the entire responsibility for participation in accordance with our terms and conditions. We do recommend the following for your safety:
- Avoid participating on the roadway
- Avoid participating at night
- Do the event with a friend, a mate, or family member
- Make certain someone knows where you are going and when you will return
- Take extra care, carry water and always carry a mobile for emergency calls.
If you decide to participate in a gathering of other virtual participants, or at a satellite activity, you do so on the understanding that you are still responsible for your own wellbeing.
Virtual Scoring
Participating in your Virtual Event, and uploading your result can only occur between 15 March 2025 and 15 April 2025.
Submitting your virtual result is voluntary, and whilst our Virtual event is not officially scored and we will rank your result, but there is no prize for place getting. Timing can be done in a number of ways, but we recommend using a device with an industry recognised timing app such as Garmin, Starva, FitBit. There is an official judge for the Virtual Edition who together with the Race Director have sole jurisdiction without appeal to remove any result for any reason including fake information, false timing.
