Main Street Bella has announced their latest Virtual Run that will take place from March 20th-27th, 2021 called “Friend in Me.”

This latest race takes inspiration from the ‘Toy Story’ franchise.

Here’s the announcement:

“Celebrate the power of friendship and fun in this Toy Story themed virtual race and awesome swag. This race will be held the week of March 20th-27th, 2021 and is perfect for kids and adults alike. You can receive a finisher medal and shirt to commemorate your accomplishment. Plus you will be helping people in need. Our charity partners receive 20% of the proceeds from each ticket sold.

Proceeds will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Ada County and Make-A-Wish hosted by Main Street Bella

* This is NOT an official RunDisney race. We are not affiliated with RunDisney or the Walt Disney Company or any of its affiliates. “

You can register beginning February 1, 2021. There are two options:

1. Shirt & Medal – $50
   This option comes with our high quality finisher medal and a race shirt of your choice.
2. Medal Only – $30
   Finish your race, report your time, and this high quality finisher medal is all yours!

Here’s what the finisher medal looks like!

“This 3.5″ antique silver finish medal will look great on your medal rack! We used only the finest materials. The approximate weight is 4.5 oz and feels great in your hand. Complete with full color race ribbon.”

Here’s how the race works.

“Virtual races are just like traditional races with a shirt, medal, community and fun. But you can run or walk the race wherever you want and with whomever you want. Even on a treadmill! Racers choose their race distance, what type and size of shirt they want and what day they will run their race. You have 7 days during the designated race week to you run your race. Then you record your finish time and submit that time to us at a special check in page we provide. Once your time is submitted we send our your finisher shirt and medal.

1. You register for your spot and choose the swag you want (shirt, medal or both)
2. The week of the race (March 20th-27th) you run a 5K, 10K or 13.1, whatever you choose. As long as it’s before the end of the race week you are good to go.
3. You record your time on a smart phone or device.
4. You submit your race time at the link provided with your registration.
5. We post your time on a leader board.
6. Once we receive your race time we send out your items (shirt, medal, etc). Shirts are typically sent prior to race week and medals 1-3 week after the race week.“

I love doing these races. I have participated in several from Main Street Bella and they have all been great. I especially like how part of the proceeds go to charity.

I’m really looking forward to this one!
