Registered participants can begin running this virtual race event on AUGUST 7, 2020 at 5:00AM.


Once registered, follow these instructions on how to record your time and submit your results

1) Download the IYR Virtual Mobile App

APPLE APP STORE  |  GOOGLE PLAY STORE

This app will allow you to run your virtual race and automatically track your pace, distance and overall time.  The app will recognize the race distance that you registered for and automatically stop your session at the appropriate distance (eg 3.1 miles for a 5K virtual race) and send your results in.  It's the closest thing you can get to running a real race!

If you do not wish to use the IYR Virtual mobile app for your virtual race, please see instructions for manually entering your finish time at the bottom of this page (point 6).

2) Create Your ITS YOUR RACE Account
Please use same email as you used for race registration

3) Find the Great Raisin River race and Choose whether you will use the app to run, or manually enter a time

Search for your event, tap it and go to the TRACKER menu item at the top. Click on the READY FOR MY RACE button.  The app will automatically detect the email address that you are logged in with and compare it to the registrations for that race.  

A pop up window will appear and ask you if you'd like to use the app to run or walk your race. If you use the app, the app will use your phone's GPS tracking capabilities to record your distance, pace and time. You can also use a different app or device (such as a watch) to record your activity. If you do this, you can select MANUAL ENTRY and enter your time. Your results will automatically be sent up to the event's overall results on itsyourrace.com

4) Start Your Race and Allow App Permissions

When you're ready, slide the START RACE button at the bottom. The app will count down 5 seconds and you will receive notifications from your phone to allow motion and fitness activity, and then to allow GPS BE SURE TO TAP OK and ALLOW for these as the app will not be able to track you if you do not allow these permissions

5) Run or Walk!

Stow your phone and get moving! The app will automatically calculate your distance, pace and time. When you've reached the exact distance, the app will automatically stop your activity and send your results to the event's results page.  You can save a screenshot of your accomplishment and share it with your friends, family and followers!

*NOTE* If for any reason you need to cancel your race once you've started, you can completely close out the app and it will wipe out your session.  When you restart the app, you can begin your race again.
