With corona happening and races getting cancel and very unlikely to be back to next year, what do people think of virtual races?
I had 2 cancelled on me and they offered virtual ones instead. I tried to make them as close as possible as the real race but doesnt feel the same.
There do seem to be fun ones out there like the pizza run.
Would you could a virtual race as race earned or achived?
I live in remote area so i find there good way of doing races if i cant travel, closet being 50-60 miles away.

50-60 miles isn't far to travel to a race, when we're back racing, that is. Anything less than a 100 miles away I would consider local. I've often driven 150 miles each way for a race in one day, usually if further than that I stay overnight and drive up the day before and drive back after the race.
As for traveling to a race, I'm with Shades, quite often travel quite a way, depends on what it is, the longer the race the more I am prepared to go. The record, for me, was NY for a HM!!
When clubs couldn't meet, they allowed the same sort of engagement and idea that clubs are doing something for their members, who have paid a fee but are getting nothing for their money.
Personally I can barely get to the right intensity in distanced stuff, so would have no chance in a virtual.
Hopefully they're a thing of the past now though...
