What is a Virtual Run?
A virtual run or virtual race is an online event can be run at any location at all. You can run outside, 
walk, or even use a treadmill to participate. You can complete the run at your own pace wherever you like. Choose a hilly course, a flat run, go slow with friends or chase a PB, a virtual run can be what you make it.
Run the 123… can you keep up with me?
At OUTFIT health + fitness we don’t suggest ‘hard structured training’ for young children, but have established the 123 Virtual Run as an ‘opportunity’ for kids to be more active (if they’re not already) & have fun exploring running. Have fun helping them discover the great benefits of exercise.

Many people have expressed the desire to raise funds for Children’s charities through our 123 Virtual Run in 2014. Here are 4 of our favourite Children’s charities where you can help spread the love of your 123 Virtual Run; The Smith Family, The Indigenous Literacy Foundation, Children’s Promise & Save the Children. Even sponsorship of just $2/km will help brighten a child’s future.
Have a great run!
