What to expect
Written from race data"This Race is for the Birds! Virtual 5K Walk/Run/Hike" is a unique event taking place on March 25, 2023, with a "virtual" component allowing participation from anywhere. While the official location is Gerrardstown, WV, 25420, US, the virtual nature means participants can complete their 5K distance at a time and place of their choosing. This event fosters a connection to nature and its avian inhabitants, likely encouraging participants to observe and appreciate local birdlife during their chosen activity. Participants can expect a flexible and accessible challenge, whether they prefer to walk, run, or hike. The "virtual" aspect allows for personalized completion, making it ideal for those who can't attend in person or prefer to engage in their own time.
