The Black is Beautiful Virtual 5k is created to support the Weathered Souls Brewery, Black is Beautiful campaign. This is a time to come together and bridge the gap for equality.

Breweries from across the globe are supporting and participating in this campaign to stand together. They are using a beer recipe created by Weathered Souls and will all be launched on July 4th. More than 450 breweries, 45 states and 11 countries.

How do you prove that you finished the race?

 First, this is all done through the honor system, so if you run or not, you will get your medal and event shirt.  For those that want to log their times once  you complete,      a link is provided for you in your confirmation email.  Just click on “Edit Your Registration,” and follow the prompts.  You can even post a pic!

What do I get for registration?

  • Finisher medal
  • Black is Beautiful t-shirt (50/50 cotton & polyester blend – pre-shrunk unisex soft shirt)
  • Downloadable custom race BIB
  • Downloadable custom finisher certificate

 Besides the medal and shirt, it’s all about the pride and camaraderie you share with so many others from across the US who participated in the event  and supporting a     great cause.

Why would I pay to run a “virtual” race when I can run at home for free?

 That is a great question, but it’s not without a good answer!  In times like these we have faced in 2020, there is solidarity in getting out there with other runners/participants to complete a race and support a great cause…even if it is just in spirit.

Does this race benefit a charity?

 Yes, we are donating to the charity Weathered Souls selected for this campaign, Know Your Rights Camp..

Is this race available to international runners?

Unfortunately, this will be a USA event only due to shipping requirement.
