Notes
1. (V) indicates that the race is available as a virtual
2. Anyone can sign up and walk or run a virtual race here at BSTW on your own schedule..within the parameters set by the Race.
3. There are more than one race on the same day, or very close together. Those races are listed for your interest or selection. The schedule does not mean you must participate in all races.
4. If you have never done any walking or running races, and are interested, just join the group going to a race, and see what the Seasoned Soles are doing off campus.
5. Volunteers are always needed at races to hand out water, medals, etc. Volunteers usually get some swag of their own, like shirts and food.
