THOSE who actively participated in organised runs before the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in nearly everything grinding to a halt, have been taking solace from virtual events since public events that draw large crowds are prohibited by the movement control order.
Virtual running events are similar to conventional ones but minus the grandeur and on-site excitement associated with the event day.
There is no start or finishing line; rather, participants are given a stipulated number of days to complete the distance they signed up for, from anywhere.
