42 Races: A Virtual Running App

I've neglected this blog for far too long. I guess it's time for a comeback.

After running 4 marathons and countless short runs and a handful of half-mary, I'm still pretty much the Running Nurse sans the posts. I have taken a rest on joining races but I still do run in my free time. I guess running would always be a big part of me.

I also discovered an application that allows you to join races VIRTUALLY. 

For someone like me who lives in the desert (figuratively speaking haha!) and too lazy to prep and travel just so to join races, this is something that is very convenient and economical. Of course, you still have to pay race fee though there are some races that are free,  it cuts off unnecessary expenses. You would receive a medal too and would be shipped to your address (How cool is that?).

Simply download 42 Race on your App Store or you could get it on Google Play, register for an account and make sure to put on your exact Home Address (for the medal shipping!). 

Find a virtual race that you want to join. You can join and run anywhere around the world.

For me, I use my Strava to track my runs and sync it on the 42 Races app. There is also an option to manually submit a run but I haven't tried it yet.

After the race closes and you submitted your run, you would receive a Badge on your 42 race mobile app complete with a Ranking Report. Your medal would be shipped to your address and you'll receive it 2-4 weeks after race completion.

These medals are way too cool! 

This isn't a sponsored post but I just want to share with you cool things about running that I discovered along the way. So, if you find yourself registering for one of their races, comment on this post or share some photos.

Happy Running!
