Racery Results: 2020 Tripawds Virtual Marathon

The Racery Results are in! Three paws up to everyone who participated in the 2020 Tripawds Virtual Marathon. This third annual fundraising “race” was our most successful yet, raising just over $3700 total! Team Tripawds joined the fun from all around the country thanks to Racery: The Virtual Race Platform.

From August 22nd through September 7th, 25 participants logged a total of 1,151.6 miles on our virtual marathon course across the Continental Divide. Thanks to the Racery app, “racers” were able to perform all sorts of exercises or chores which were automatically converted to miles when logging the activity.
