Snowbird Classic Virtual Race Series
SERIES OVERVIEW
The Snowbird Classic Virtual Race Series is a three-part summer running series designed to keep our snow-bird and transplant family engaged during the toughest running/walking months of the year—June, July and August
While the heat slows down for in-person racing in the summer, the Snowbird Classic keeps the momentum going by allowing participants to run anywhere, anytime, any distance while proudly representing the state they call home for part of the year. This series blends competition, a little humor, pride, and some community impact—true to the Apex brand.
HOW IT WORKS
- Participants can register for one or all three monthly events.
- Each race is virtual, allowing participants to complete their miles anywhere.
- Participants will select the state they are representing during registration.
- Log miles anytime in the month. You can run or walk once or as many times as you would like.
- Monthly results will track:
- Top state most miles
- Top state most participants
Each month, the winning state earns:
- Social media recognition
- “Apex Snowbird Champion” bragging rights
