This includes persons who live far from event location and those with schedules that simply will not allow them to be present on the day of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Participants choose one of the distances, 10K or 5K. They complete the distance where ever they are, on a favorite trail, at the park, on a track, even on a treadmill. Simply do the distance, track the time with a Garmin or app and send a photo with the final time to us via email. Virtual participants receive a medal, shirt, and materials via mail after the event. This can be done alone or with a group.<\/p>\n<p>Running remotely will never be as good as running in person at the actual event, but for those with no other options, it offers a way to stay connected to their community to help them commit to and celebrate their achievements.<\/p>\n<p>If a virtual runner is able to make it to the race they can request to upgrade their virtual entry to a regular participant entry or vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Virtual Runners do not qualify for\u00a0prizes or placement trophy.<\/p>\n\t\t<h3>\t\n\tCANCELLATIONS<\/h3>\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Unfortunately, due to the advanced planning and logistics entry fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. As per the terms agreed upon registering, once we receive and accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate. Sorry, no exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>You do have the following options available:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Change your entry to Virtual and receive your medal &amp; swag in the mail.<\/li>\n<li>Defer your entry to the following year ($25 processing fee).<\/li>\n<li>Transfer your entry to another runner ($25 processing fee).<\/li>\n<li>Forego your entry and receive a 50% credit towards any of our other <a href=\"https:\/\/newglobaladventures.com\/races\/california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">races<\/a> in California within the next year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Requests MUST be submitted before the race date. Requests on or after the race date will not be honored.

You can run or walk your chosen distance from anywhere you are, even on a treadmill. Simply track your time and send us a photo showing the final time and distance completed so we can include you in the virtual results.<\/p>\n<p>Submit a change request from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bethelight5k.com\/contact\/\">contact<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n<h4> \u00a0Event Cancellation<\/h4>\n<p>Unless there is severe weather on the days before and on the race day, the Be The Light event will be held whether it&#8217;s sunny, raining or anything in between.
