Virtual Race Series

Your Race. Your Pace. Your Place.

Love in Motion has no finish line.

Whether you’re across the country, around the world, or simply can’t join us in Jacksonville Beach, you can still be part of the 20th Running of DONNA Marathon Weekend. The DONNA Virtual Race Series allows you to participate wherever you are while helping The DONNA Foundation provide hope, support, and financial relief to individuals and families living with breast cancer.

Choose your distance, complete your race during DONNA Marathon Weekend at your own pace, and celebrate alongside thousands of participants united by one purpose.

Because no matter where you are…

You’re part of the movement.

How It Works

Participating is easy!

  • Choose your virtual event.
  • Complete your race between January 1 and race weekend wherever you choose.
  • Submit your results (optional, just for fun!).
  • Receive your commemorative race package after race weekend.*

*Race materials are shipped to U.S. addresses following DONNA Marathon Weekend.

Your Virtual Race Experience

Every virtual participant receives the same premium commemorative race shirt and event-specific finisher medal earned by in-person participants. Your race package also includes:

  • Keepsake race bib
  • Optional mileage tracking and results reporting
  • Race materials shipped to U.S. addresses following DONNA Marathon Weekend

Virtual Event Options

Choose the experience that’s right for you:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

  • WHAT IF I CAN’T RUN 3.1, 13.1, 26.2 or 110 MILES? You don’t have to run the entire miles at once unless you plan to submit an official time. That’s the beauty of a virtual race. You have all the time you need to go the distance, so you may spread the miles out.
  • Is my time an official finish time of the DONNA? Yes. If you go the distance between January 1 and February 1, 2027 all at once and submit your time as instructed, your time will be published with official virtual results. Otherwise – your time will not be considered an official time for DONNA, nor will your time be published in results. This is all about the personal achievement of being active, earning a beautiful medal, and of course ending breast cancer!
  • Is the DONNA Virtual Marathon a Boston Qualifier? No. The B.A.A. is unable to accept virtual races or GPS data for the purpose of Boston Marathon qualifying times. Only qualifying times from USATF, AIMS, or other foreign equivalent certified courses may be submitted for Boston Marathon registration purposes.
  • MAY I COMPLETE THE RACE WITH A GROUP OR AT ANOTHER RACE EVENT? Of course!
  • I AM A DONNA STREAKER. WILL THE VIRTUAL EVENT ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY ‘STREAK’? Only if you submit an official time as instructed. You will be able to maintain your streaker status completing the virtual event between January 1 and February 1, 2027 with an official result. You must submit your time to keep your streaker status.
