Yes, you have found a virtual race just for you! So glad you found us. Some of you are former or pre-lymphedema runners. Some of you are making goals and tackling new challenges head on for the first time ever. Some of you have been at this for quite some time.
We know you have what it takes. WE BELIEVE IN YOU. Read on for virtual challenge instructions.
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL 5K RACE?
A virtual 5K is a 3.1 mile race that can be completed from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, in the pool, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to do your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself if you want.
This is a dedicated, focused time to complete the distance you have chosen to do.
You can do a little each day or all in one go. Some people will finish 3.1 miles in 6 days by deliberately walking on a treadmill. You can even do a 5K per day if you are advanced and want to achieve a longer distance such as a 13 miles in 2 weeks. Basically, you have the freedom choose how much time you need. You will receive a prize sponsored by Juzo USA after the challenge ends.
You may also hike, bike, water jog, or swim this challenge.
What is NOT a Virtual Race?
This is not your activity tracker counting your daily steps throughout the normal course of a day. It is not the same as a 45 day challenge.
Select a Route or Machine
Try to pick a scenic route for your Virtual Race. 
However, if the weather does not cooperate, a treadmill, rower, eliptical, or swimming works just fine! No need for your virtual race to be complicated. Participate at YOUR level. This is a challenge for Lymphies by Lymphies. This means it is not a competition. It is a challenge for yourself to improve or maintain your lymphatic health, depending on your needs.
