The Green Girl's Running for Angels Virtual 5k Medal

You sign up online and run your race on the scheduled date. If you cannot run on that day, you may run it on a day that works for you.

After completing my virtual 5k in Hermosa Beach, I received a Running for Angels 5k Virtual Race medal and technical race shirt in the mail from the race director, Timothy Misiak.

I love how virtual races allow runners in disparate geographic locations to come together for a common cause.

I am looking forward to participating in future Running for Angels Virtual events.
