The 2nd Annual Marathon Training Academy Virtual Half Marathon 
A virtual race is a race that you can run or walk in any location, with the flexibility and convenience of running any time of day and at your own pace. You can run your favorite running route, run on trails or a track, use a treadmill, or complete this run as part of another race. The options are open, as long as you finish the distance.
The official race date was November 19th, which is MTA Coach Angie’s Birthday, but participants had the whole month of November to complete their Virtual Half Marathon Race.
Registered participants received a “Release the Kraken” finishers medal, MTA technical running hat, as well as a half marathon training plan for a specific finishing time of their choice.
I decided to complete my MTA Virtual Race by running a Half Marathon on my Birthday.

Results are unofficial and do not need to be submitted. However, I finished this run in 2:01:55 and celebrated my birthday by completing my 25th Half Marathon. I love being able to support my favorite podcast by running this race, and can’t wait to receive the awesome finishers swag.
