DC Batman Run Virtual Recap and Beyond

I received entry into the DC Batman Virtual Run as a part of being a BibRave Pro. Check out BibRave.com to read and write race reviews.


Love this medal!! 
This was my 2nd year running the DC Batman Run Virtual, and as always, it was a great experience. You just cannot beat the Swag! This year was a super soft full zip hoodie, really cool medal, running visor (love me a good visor) and personalized bib. New this year was a finish line. How perfect is that for putting on your very own personalized race!?

And of course, one of the best things about a virtual race is that you can run it anytime, anywhere. My Fall race season is always full and I was able to run my Batman Run in between race weeks. In addition to my own racing, I am working with a friend that I am helping to train for his first marathon. I've been pacing him on his long runs and decided that since he was scheduled to run 9 last Saturday, that would be the perfect time to run my Batman Virtual, as I could complete both the 10K and the 5K! Plus a fun way for me to get some incentive out of running his miles with him. Win/win!

After 15K of Bat-tastic running!


Want to run your own DC Batman Run 5K or 10K (or both)? To register, visit: https://dcbatmanrun.com/virtual/. The shirts are super soft full zip sweatshirts and are gender specific cut (you can choose which shirt option no matter the gender you register). There are also some fun add ons, fanny pack, arm sleeves plus other items, that you can purchase. And if you register with Swag Code: DCBatmanPromo, you get an awesome Batman Koozie!



What's Next? 

Next up I have another super fun Virtual Race, the Costume Dash 5K. My usual local Halloween themed race isn’t happening this year, so instead, I will be running this! And how cute is the swag for the Costume Dash Race?!

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na RACE DAY!!

  I received entry into the DC Batman Virtual Run as a part of being a BibRave Pro. Check out BibRave.com to read and write race reviews. 

So the world might still be a little in flux these days, but one big positive to come out of the pandemic aftermath is that Virtual Races have expanded in ways that have allowed races from all over to take advantage of races that they would not otherwise. This girl loves her a good virtual race! I've done several now (you can read about them all over this blog), covering the gambit of the my Top 5 Benefits of Racing Virtually - which you can check out here: https://runnerdgirl.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-benefits-of-racing-virtually.html


Now this next Virtual race I have coming up, this one I wanted to do purely for reason #2 - Earn Fun Bling. Seriously, you cannot get much cooler than Caped Crusader, and that is who this race is all about, Batman.


Just check out some of this awesomeness!

Racers have until the end of the month to register and run their race, which is only a few weeks away, so don't delay if you want to join in. SWAG mails quickly, in fact, I have already received mine all waiting for me to run my 10K (there is also a 5K option).

To register, visit: https://dcbatmanrun.com/virtual/. The shirts are super soft full zip sweatshirts and are gender specific cut (you can choose which shirt option no matter the gender you register). There are also some fun add ons, fanny pack, arm sleeves plus other items, that you can purchase. And if you register with Swag Code: DCBatmanPromo, you get an awesome Batman Koozie!


And lastly, a portion of each race registration will go to support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
