Virtual Race ATHLETE GUIDE

How to Run DONNA Virtually

Step 1: Register online for a DONNA Virtual Event.
Step 2: Starting January 1, 2024, go the distance in your neighborhood:
Option 1: Submit A Time For an Official Result
1. Run your virtual event anytime starting January 1, 2024 through February 4, 2024.
2. Submit your time to our results page before 11:59 PM ET on Sunday, February 4, 2024.
3. Official results and winners will be announced on Monday, February 5, 2024.
OPTION 2: GO THE DISTANCE YOUR WAY! Run your virtual event anytime. Run the distance all at once, or over time. No time submission is required. There is no deadline.
Step 3. Get excited when your DONNA bling arrives by mail. Race packet shipments will begin starting February 12, 2024.
Step 4. Post your results and a photo with your finisher’s medal and race bib in our Facebook group, insta or tweet using the hashtags #DestinationHope and #runDONNAvirtual! (That’s not required, but super fun.)

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 4, 2024 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 5, 2023 with an official result. You must submit your time to keep your streaker status.
