All schools are eligible, regardless of school type, location, or runner registration level!
If you'd like to support your child, grandchild, or favorite school, you can participate in this year's Crape Myrtle Run as a Virtual Runner - and select school or enter your school name to ensure that school gets credit for your registration. It's a great way to help promote a healthy habit of exercise within our youth! As a virtual runner, you'll qualify for a runner's shirt and bib - pick those up early at Run-On! McKinney beginning Tuesday, Sept 21 from 10am to 7pm through Friday, Sept 24.

One advantage of being a virtual runner, you can begin to run or walk NOW in your own neighborhood, treadmill, etc. You'll need to track your time and distance to qualify for the 1-Mile, 10K, or 5K with the end day of Saturday, Sept 25, 2021. As a virtual runner, you won't qualify for placement or medals but hey, you can say you did participate in the 2021 Crape Myrtle Run. And who knows, next year you might try the Virtual Boston Marathon.!
