Future Events
We certainly hope to resume in person racing next season. Our hopes are that
California state, county and city regulations will allow for us to resume "actual in-
person" events in 2021. Most importantly, we want to insure that our participants stay safe and healthy by following the CDC guidelines and so we are offering these virtual options at this time.

The Virtual Racing Option allows people from all over the world to participate in
these events that support local causes. Please feel free to share this information
with your friends so that they can partner with us in sharing fit 'n fun
opportunities while supporting important local causes.
