Additional Notes:
- Race HQ Zoom Link will be provided by April 17th at 12:00pm EST. You need to log on and off then to test your connection.
- Official RaceTime is from this website time.gov.
- You may run 5 mile loops, a 2.5 mile out and back, or even laps around your house. Laps may be the same route or multiple routes. As long as you run outside and you check in every 5 miles from your "pit area" with the data and the photo to prove the 5 mile “Laps”.
- NO TREADMILLS (A future race may have treadmill option)
- We will not accept anything uploaded less than 5 mile laps as a complete lap.
- Any additional mileage will NOT count towards the next lap. (So a 5.25 loop, does not mean next lap is 4.75)
- We will not accept a 10 mile lap and include it as 2 laps, etc. Each lap your GPS is reset back to zero.
- You ARE allowed to have a "mobile" pit and check in from different places. Meaning you can run continuous as long as you check into zoom every 5 miles and upload your data every 5 miles. The UltraVirus is NOT responsible if you run to an area with no signal. So saying "Signal didn't work, so heres 2 - five mile segments I ran" - UltraVirus race will only count 1 of those segments. So you MUST check in every 5 to the ZOOM Pit no matter what.
- A crew member may assist runners in uploading photos and race times. Please don’t tell us that this is unfair as you don’t have a spouse/friend/pet to do it for you. It’s just like a real looped race. Some do it alone, some pack an RV full of people to help.
- You do NOT have to stay logged in to zoom 100 percent of the time. You can log back in each lap in your "pit" to show you are back, upload your miles, and go back out.
- You do NOT have to run the entire 12 hours. You can start, and stop as many times as you wish. Take naps, mow the lawn, whatever. Just log your first lap after the race begins, and the finish line closes at 8:00pm EST.
- There is no "non running" for ANY portion of this race. This means 100 percent of ALL travel is on foot. For example: You can not run down a mountain, then drive back up to the start each lap . We are not rocket surgeons, but we are wise to your ways. So if it's obvious you found a straight downhill course to go up and down like this, it won't be counted either. The purpose of this event is to get everyone running/competing together but apart. Not, who can find the loophole. Final say belongs to us.
- No refunds.
Other questions we have been getting:
- Can I be paced? Run this with a friend?
First of all, social distancing and all that, so be mindful of gathering with anyone.
In terms of anyone running with you as a pacer, just have them register as another runner. This way it's another "competitor" running with you. Which keeps this all in the spirit of a true race.
Your friend can choose to log the same amount of miles as you or they can quit anytime. They can also run the first 5 and the last 5, or anything in between.
Whatever the case is, you are both logging separate lap times and photos. We know running with a buddy can make the miles go by faster and can an awesome thing to do. You CAN share a screen/log in with zoom. But again, you are uploading times individually.
Do I have to keep my ZOOM logged in and on my computer on the entire time?
No, you can certainly log on and off or just leave it running in your "pit" if set up near a plug.
However each pit stop, you need to upload your 5 mile loop time and distance plus the photo. Also, quickly wave to the camera to show you are back and about to go back out. You can then shut it down and go back out running.
- What if the race website crashes in the middle of the race?
Host will acknowledge that you can use the backup format. Then and only then, verification times and photos will then be sent via emailed to UltraVirusRace@gmail.com.
Here is how runners will be credited for each lap. THIS IS MANDATORY AND MUST BE DONE EACH LAP.
Step 1
- Log into Zoom Pit Party - (Link to be sent out Friday the 17th at 3:00pm EST)
- Run 5 miles as per instructions above.
- Return to Zoom Pit Party.
- Announce to host your arrival in this manner - "Your Name, coming in from UltraVirus Lap #1
- Wait for verbal acknowledgement from the host. (If host is acknowledging other runners, raise hand in zoom and wait to be acknowledged).
- Take whatever time you need before leaving out for another lap.
- When leaving, announce your departure in this manner - “Your Name, Going Out For UltraVirus Lap #2”
- Wait for acknowledgement from host. (If host is acknowledging other runners, raise hand in zoom and wait to be acknowledged).
Step 2
- Log into the race website.
- Go to “Activities” and select your name and lap number.
- Enter race time in HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS.
- A lap time of 55 minutes and 10 seconds will be recorded as 00:55:10
- A lap time of 1 hour and 12 minutes and 14 seconds will be recorded as 01:12:14
- Upload photo of watch face of lap time and distance for each lap.
- If you upload data from an app rather than actual watch face, be sure to include “Elapsed Time” and not just “Run Time” as in this example. The first number is 50:31 but is not actual elapsed time, which is 55:28.
These steps can be done in either order. This means you can log in your photos and data first or be acknowledged by host first. What’s important is that both steps happen.
