Race Into The New Year "Live Virtual" 5k/10k

**THIS IS THE JAN. 2027 RACE** To celebrate The New Year, Relevant Running brings you another of our signature "live virtual" races! Join us on Saturday January 2nd 2027 for the RACE INTO THE NEW YEAR "LIVE VIRTUAL" 5K/10K. This is no ordinary virtual race. It's a unique virtual running and walking event, with tens of thousands of runners and walkers who have already experienced and love our live virtual race format. Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time, a virtual check in and start via text or Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (participants 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 RACE INTO THE NEW YEAR 5K/10K medal with age group and overall winners receiving engraving of their time and placement on the back of their medal! ******* If you cannot or do not wish participate on the scheduled race date of Jan. 2nd 2027 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 it whenever you want. But, keep in mind, you won't be eligible for age group awards (engraving for your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day Jan. 2nd. All registered runners should join 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, it is NOT required to join the Facebook group to participate. If you’re not on Facebook you will have the option to check in and submit your time on race day via TEXT.
