“With races being canceled across the world, Race Directors need a fast, simple and power solution to convert their traditional events to virtual”, Chris Betagole, FG CEO said. “We recognized the need and wanted to lend our expertise to help Race Directors and Runners alike, many of whom are navigating the VR concept for the first time. They still need to protect their brand that they have spent years building & give participants an active outlet and sense of community that drove them to sign up for their event in the first place.”

Race Directors
- We take your event logo and participant csv and send out invites via text to your participants.
- We provide you with a simple dashboard to manage all aspects of your event.
- You will be able to view which participants have signed up, options to send additional texts to your participants, and to view a leader board of the results coming in.
- You can post a public link to your leader board on your own website or other social media or export it as a csv file.
Participants
- Each participant receives a text invite to download VR and complete their run. Participants will have a period of days to choose when to run.
- Participants are presented with a branded run page describing how they can complete their run, either tracking their run live or manually inputting their time from Strava, Garmin, etc. Other runners are reminded that the virtual run is taking place as participants are completing their runs.
- Participants will also receive updates in their ear of their mile marker and percentile in the run.
- After finishing the run, participants are presented with a celebratory results page along with a tab for the run leaderboard. They can also post a selfie and view a gallery of the other selfies taken by the rest of the community.
