BC Virtual Stage Race
Beat Feet Running presents BC Virtual Stage Race
This event is a virtual race that is meant to encourage folks to take to the trails in and around Brown County, Indiana. Late Winter/early Spring is a great time of year to explore local trails. There is no cost associated with this race. There is occasionally a gate fee for Brown County State Park in February/March.
This race will consist of 4 trail segments run over 4 weeks. Beginning February 7th, a new segment will be posted every Friday and participants will have 2 weeks to complete that segment to count toward the overall time. Each segment will be between 3-7 miles. Each segment will highlight different parks/forests in or around Brown County.

Results & Leaderboard

Reporting results
We will be utilizing the Strava platform for race results. You will need a Strava profile (don't worry, there is a free option) and your run will need to be posted and labeled appropriately for each race segment. This will help keep things honest.
Dates
The first segment will be posted on Friday, February 7th and a new segment will be posted each week for 4 weeks. You will have two weeks to complete each segment at your leisure once it's been posted. So the race will officially begin on February 7th and you will have until March 14th to finish the 4th segment.
Prize
Other than personal pride and bragging rights we will send the winners a hand-crafted trophy by a local Brown County artesian. This is a traveling trophy forwarded to the next year's winners.
