Registration open for virtual Commodore Hull 5K Road Race
The 2020 Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5K is taking place, but it will be a virtual format.
Why aren’t you running an in-person race?
With the restrictions of COVID-19 still in place, the logistics of proper safety and social distancing of 800 runners simply isn’t feasible.
A virtual format allows us to still hold this beloved Valley race, with the benefit of letting those who are out of town on Thanksgiving run as well.
What does Virtual Format mean?
Virtual Format means you can run anywhere you choose, anywhere in the world, within the time frame of our race as long as it equals 5k (3.1 miles).
How do I run in this virtual race?
Register for the race (click the Register button above), and download the RaceJoy app. Turn RaceJoy tracking on right before you run your race.
What is RaceJoy?
RaceJoy uses your phone’s GPS to track you while you run, giving you progress alerts and providing your official time. Family and friends can “watch” you run on the app, tracking your progress along your route, and they can send you virtual “cheers” as you run.
Do I have to use RaceJoy?
No. You can use RaceJoy to track your time (and for your friends and family to track you as you run) or you can use your own watch or app to track your time and submit it manually on the results page.
Is there a charge for RaceJoy?
No. RaceJoy is free to our runners and spectators.
When is the race?
Run any time between 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning (Nov. 26) through 8 p.m. on Sunday (Nov. 29).
What is the race route?
There is no official race route this year—you pick where you want to run. As long as your route equals 5k, you can run it for this race. Please do not run our usual race route—the roads will not be closed for us.
How do I know my race route is a 5k?
Use a route-mapping website, such as GMap Pedometer or MapMyRun, which use Google Maps to help you plot a routeTry an app like MapMyRun, RunKeeper or Runmeter which have GPS capabilities to measure your route
With a bicycle--if you have an odometer, set it at zero and ride along the route
Will I be timed?
Yes. RaceJoy uses your phone’s GPS to track your time as you run. If you do not use RaceJoy, you can submit your time manually on the results page.
How do I get my results?
Race results will be posted on our website in the days after the closing of the race window, and will also be available through our timer, FastTrack Timing LLC, on their website and in their mobile app (available on the Apple App store).
Do I get a race shirt and runner bib?
Yes! All runners will receive a long-sleeve runner shirt and race bib.
When do I pick up my shirt and bib?
You’ll pick your shirt and bib up at the Boys & Girls Club in Shelton; dates will be announced. If you are not able to pick up your shirt and bib, you can send someone else to pick up for you. Shirts and bibs will not be mailed.
Are there prizes?
Since everyone will be running a different course, there is no way to get an “even” result for all runners. Therefore, there will be no prizes this year.
