| What is a Virtual Event?: |
Virtual runs have emerged over the past several years as a way for people to participate in an organized run from anywhere during a specified time frame and receive an event memento.
With live events being a non-option right now, we strive to bring you a truly interactive and social experience during this challenging time of social distancing. One of the few things we can safely do right now is go for a run or walk whether it's out our front door or on our treadmill...as long as we are following safety recommendations!
Please be advised: In accordance with Executive Order No. 118 from Governor Murphy, county and state parks are now closed to the public until April 30, 2020 with possibility to be further extended. |
| Your Virtual Experience: |
Sign-up and receive links to get connected via Facebook, Strava (a fitness tracking app), and Zoom.
Invite family & friends to be a team!
Print and decorate your bib #.
Join in the live feed for a welcome kick-off and virtual Hoppy Hour.
Run or walk your chosen distance on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday from out your front door or on your treadmill. (Biking, skating, other fitness machines, etc. are all okay too!)
Submit your finish time and distance by Sunday at 8 p.m. to be included in the official results. |
| The Virtual Options: |
Add a little eggcitement to your Easter weekend with either the:
*Running Down the Bunny Trail Virtual Hop: 5K, 10K, 15K running from Friday 4/10 at 5 a.m. through Easter Sunday 4/12 at 8 p.m. with a LIVE official start on Saturday 4/11 at 1 p.m. or
*Hopping Down the Rabbit Hole Virtual Move & Hoppy Hour with a pick-your-own distance, style (run, walk, ride, roll, skate, etc.) and start time leading up to the Virtual Hoppy Hour at 3 p.m. on Saturday 4/11. |
| Sign-up Fee & Explanation: |
BestLife.Events will be hosting many virtual events over the next few months and this Easter Weekend Hop will be our first! This event is being offered for the low low price of $5 (no processing charge when you sign up here) since we'll be asking for your patience as we test our new Virtual Event processes and also asking for your feedback and suggestions. The vast majority of the registration fees will be donated after covering event costs.
You can even get a free entry to the Hop by simply signing up for one of our other upcoming events:
*Our House Our Run Virtual 4 Mile & 2 Mile Walk
*Barn-B-Q Trail Run
*Westfield Turkey Trot
(Sign up here on PracticeHard and we'll automatically add your Easter Hop registration.) |
| BestLife.Events Virtual Series: |
The BestLife.Events Virtual Series aims to bring us all together in a healthy and motivating way. Let's connect remotely while we're physically apart!
The series will be developing as we go along navigating our new norms in "being alone together" and being connected remotely through our social media and other apps that keep us close while at a safe distance.
You can sign up for any Virtual Event as a single experience or bundle multiple events and really dive in with us!
So far we know these events will be in the series and we hope to keep adding more:
4/10 - 4/12: Running Down the Bunny Trail Easter Weekend Virtual Hop: 5K, 10K, 15K
4/11 at 3 p.m.: Hopping Down the Rabbit Hole Easter Weekend Virtual Run, Walk, & Hoppy Hour
5/16 - 5/22: Our House Our Run Virtual 4 Mile Run & 2M Walk
5/23 - 5/25: Memorial Weekend Virtual Distance Climb
5/23 - 5/25: Memorial Weekend 5K & Virtual BBQ
This new initiative is brought to you by the Sports Action Reaction, PracticeHard.com, and Get Off The Couch NJ team (same team, but you may recognize us by one or all of these names) and you may know us for some of the live events we've brought to you over the years including Westfield Turkey Trot, Barn-B-Q Trail Festival, October Beerfest 5K & Lawn Games Tourney, and a multitude of local 5Ks benefiting amazing non-profits. |
| Running Down the Bunny Trail V-Hop: 5K, 10K, 15K: |
Pick your distance and include it and your finish time when submitting your results: 5K, 10K, 15K. We recommend creating a loop from your home of no longer than 5K and doing 1, 2, or 3 laps. This is a great safety measure, so you can check in with your loved ones, take a break on your porch, or refuel with water, electrolytes, or snacks. Run anytime between Friday at 5 a.m. and Sunday at 8 p.m. and join us for the Official Start Saturday at 1 p.m. Results will be posted and emailed on Monday 4/13. |
| Hopping Down the Rabbit Hole V-Move & Hoppy Hour: |
Join us at 3 p.m. on Saturday 4/11 for a Holiday Hoppy Hour via Zoom with your favorite post-workout cocktail or mocktail! Pick your experience (5K, 10K, or 15K run or walk to be included in official results; ANY distance and style if not participating with results) and start your run or walk with enough time to finish by or around 3 p.m. and join the Zoom video meetup. Join us for the Official Start Saturday at 1 p.m. regardless of when you choose to start your run or walk. Any results will be posted and emailed on Monday 4/13. |
