A virtual race fundraiser is a fundraising event in which participants sign up to complete a virtual walk, run or ride while raising money for a charitable cause. Virtual races are completed remotely, rather than at a specific location on a set date. Participants can complete the race at their own pace and time, often tracking their progress using a fitness tracker or smartphone app. Virtual race fundraisers offer a flexible and convenient way for individuals and organizations to raise money for a cause they care about, and can be a fun and social way to get involved in philanthropy.
