With running virtual and physical events slowly starting to emerge in the US, we’ve highlighted the best 4 virtual events that are getting the Runderwear team excited. Like most of you, we can't wait to get back out there running in events when it's safe to do so, but these virtual events look like a positive step forwards. Remember that these events help support the race organisers and ensure that they can come back as physical events in 2022.
