Here's a way to work off those quarantine pounds while still having fun!

Most of us are in the same boat. With gym closures, months of quarantine, and days spent teleworking, there are some days where the most physical activity we get is walking from our couch to the pantry and back again. Since most of our time is now spent online with virtual meetings, social events, and schooling, it comes as no surprise that now run virtual races as well!

I Run 4 Movement has a slew of virtual races available so that we can get off that couch and get moving! We've narrowed down the races centered around holiday themes (all virtual races cost $34.99 to register and proceeds will go towards Feeding America).

Who doesn't love Baby Yoda? You'll love this Limited Edition Virtual Race shirt and medal even more!
