SAVE 15% When You Race The 2020 Providence Marathon Virtual Run

5/10/2020

 
The Providence Marathon logo shown with the city in the background.
Like many of our favorite Spring races, The Providence Marathon morphed into a virtual run.

The original race date was May 3rd. Since all events in Rhode Island were cancelled, that didn't happen. (All previously registered runners were moved to the virtual run.)

The good news is, now everyone can run the 5K, Half or Full Marathon as a virtual race. If you're looking for motivation to keep moving, consider The Providence Marathon.

Keep reading to learn why the event went virtual, plus see the awesome SWAG! There's a 15% OFF discount code waiting for you at the bottom of this post.

Why The Providence Marathon is Going Virtual

The decision to cancel, postpone or switch to a virtual race is tough. Not every runner will be happy with any one decision. 

It's important to understand that race organizations work ALL YEAR LONG to put together events. Most expenses occur long before race day. Many organizations don't have the resources to offer refunds, transfers or deferrals. 

The Providence Marathon is going virtual because:
  • Runners who trained can still run their race 
  • SWAG doesn't go to waste 
  • Participants can cheer for each other on Socials with #ProvVirtualRun
  • People who couldn't travel to the race can participate
  • Virtual racers receive a 20% OFF code for the 2021 event
If that sounds good to you, look below to see the awesome SWAG you can earn.

​Plan your ideal Marathon, Half or 5K route where you live. Choose the day and time you want to run, then submit your results to receive an official finisher’s certificate! Click here for more details.

The Providence Marathon will ship all of your goodie bag items – finisher’s medal, race bib, premium fleece vest (full/half), and tech tee (all runners) directly to your door.

Race Medals for 5K, Half and Full Marathon

Ladies and Mens Cut Tech Race Shirts

I love when both mens and ladies cuts are offered for the race shirts.

Half and Full Marathoners Get a Providence Marathon Fleece Vest

When you go the distance — a half or full marathon — you also earn The Providence Marathon fleece vest.

​It's a full zip premium fleece with a high collar and two cozy pockets in the front.

SAVE 15% with Discount Code "RUN15" When You Register By May 31, 2020

If you already registered for the in-person event, your entry converted to virtual. But, if you want in on the fun now, you can register anytime before May 31. After you register, you can run your race when and where you want.

​​Don't forget to use my promo code: "RUN15" to SAVE 15% off your registration fee.

Join the #ProvVirtualRun Online Community

Gotta love social hashtags. They make it possible to gather online when we can't be somewhere in person.

Join The Providence Marathon community by posting about your training and race online.

Consider posting your virtual finish line photo on Socials with hashtag #ProvVirtualRace. It's fun to see how everyone runs their race.

​​Be sure to tag:
@TheProvidenceMarathon (Insta) or @ProvMarathon (FB) for virtual cheers!

The Providence Marathon will add this finish line filter to your photo and share them on their Facebook page over the next few weeks.

BONUS: Special 20% Discount Code for 2021

As a special thank you, every 2020 participant receives a 20% OFF discount code to next year's IRL race when registration opens for 2021.

It's hard to know what's going to happen to races in the future. For now, virtual races are a great way to support our favorite — and new to us — events during these weird times.

Best wishes and good luck on all your racing endeavors!
