We recently announced the launch of our newest event, the Doggy Dashers Virtual Run & Walk — a nationwide event to benefit animal rescue through charity partner Northwest Boxer Rescue.
With the participant community already representing 20 states, we thought it’d be fun to interview a registrant and hear what’s got her most excited about the event. Keep reading to hear why Emily’s so stoked to be signed up for Doggy Dashers! Continue reading
Gametiime’s second virtual event, The Puppy Run, recently came to a successful conclusion. With nearly 700 runners (including adults, kids, and plenty of four-legged friends), it was another swag-filled, social running experience enjoyed by runners in 44 states across the country.
If you’re not yet familiar with a virtual run, it’s an event allowing runners to run locally but connect nationally (and perhaps even globally in the future). By signing up, registrants become part of an online participant community — centered around the event’s theme and charitable beneficiary. They run where and when they would like (within a given timeframe), share results, photos, and stories of their adventures, and receive exclusive merchandise in the mail to remember the experience.
For The Puppy Run, we introduced some brand-new additions to our offering, including:
As mentioned in our previous post, our very first virtual run, the Pi Day 5K, was a big success! Before the event, we had a guess that our growing running community and other runners around the country would be jazzed up about three things:
Over 750 runners later, it was clearly true — the Pi Day 5K was a sweet, mathematical hit. Over the weekend of 3/12 to 3/15, runners across all but 5 states (as well as 3 Canadian provinces) submitted hundreds of photos on Instagram, finishing times for their well-earned miles, and received coveted Pi Day 5K swag and prizes.
The City of Redmond is introducing a new run and walk and it’s going to be a dog gone good time! As part of the City of Redmond’s Annual Pet Fair, runners and walkers can participate in the Inaugural Ruff Run. It’ll be a great local event where you can bring the whole family, including those in strollers and (of course!) your four-legged family members as well! Read more about what Ruff Run race director, Sarah Sandquist, had to say about this first year run and walk!

In this extremely popular event you’ll run along scenic Highway One, one of thirty-one All-American Roads, from Big Sur to Carmel. This race is USATF certified and a Boston Marathon qualifier features stunning views of the redwoods, rural ranches, and the Pacific Ocean.
Running, as we all know, not only energizes the soul but fills our senses with powerful and memorable experiences. What also invokes these feelings? Great music!
It comes as no surprise then that Kaskade, world-renowned music artist and promoter of healthy lifestyles, has announced plans to combine music and running into an interactive and sensory 5K night run called The Spark Run.
