The Great Ocean Road ran a virtual half marathon last weekend.

Supplying medals on proof of uploading your results. A photo was good enough.

Was really good.

I could see this being the future of events.

We will get mass participation events back, but this was great too.

When do you get your medal?

Our club tried to do a virtual duathlon series. TWA pulled the pin on it. Banned the timing aspect stating it was too high risk racing in uncontrolled environments. While the running community might allow it, the triathlon community certainly doesn't. Unless you're Ironman, then it's fine apparently.
