Paramedic/EMT "Live Virtual" 5k/10k

To honor America's amazing Paramedics and EMTs, Relevant Running brings you another of our signature "live virtual" races! Join us on Saturday July 18th, 2026 for the 3rd race in our 1st Responder Series, the Paramedic/EMT "LIVE VIRTUAL" 5K/10K. This is no ordinary virtual race. It's a unique virtual running/walking event, with tens of thousands of runners and walkers who have already experienced and love our unique live virtual race format. Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday July 18th 2026 at 8am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start via text or Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will text screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), a private and active Facebook group dedicated to our runners and walkers. All participants will receive the one of a kind custom Paramedic/EMT 5K/10K race medal, with age group and overall winners receiving laser engraving of their time and placement on the back of their medal! (see pictures below for the medal and engraving samples from previous races) ******* If you cannot or do not wish participate on the scheduled race date during the race window (7am to 11am Eastern time USA on race day), you can absolutely still register. Please select the "medal only" option, and we'll ship you your medal about a week prior to the race date so you can run or walk it whenever you want.****** All registered participants should join our private Facebook Group for access to positive discussions and posts regarding our live virtual races and challenges, race day live-stream virtual check-in and virtual start (Please note: joining the Facebook group is NOT required to participate. You can always check in on race day via text) Here is the Facebook Group link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/880518105739882/ You are also encouraged to bookmark our website and Linktree page with links to all our open races an
