Spring Backyard Burn
Dear Spring Backyard Burn Competitors:
I've created step-by-step instructions for submitting your virtual race results. It's easy and won't take long.
Key points to remember about the virtual race:
- If you have no idea what I'm talking about...read this.
- Between now and April 19th, simply run either 5 miles of 10 miles (depending on which race you signed up for).
- All results must be submitted by 8am on 4/19.

There are virtual pint glasses up for grabs to the top 5 finishers in each age group. In addition, we'll have awards for the following:
- Most creative route
- Most boring route
- Most loops in a route
- Best finish line photo
- Share your routes and pictures via Strava, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and/or email.
- Join our EX2 Adventures Strava club (optional). For this virtual race, please change the name of your run (activity in Strava terms) to "Virtual Backyard Burn" so that's it's easy to recognize
- Use hashtags #EX2Adventures and #VirtualBackyardBurn particularly when posting photos to Instagram and Twitter so we can track them.
- On Facebook, write a post with your pictures on the EX2 Facebook page or post to our EX2 Racers and Volunteers Group.
