Life running in the dessert

New concept for the the virtual race

♠ Posted by Paul Naylor
I have recently organized a virtual race called The Cable Car Half Marathon, and I have mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to give back to the running community. So this is what I have come up with. This is something I'm trying out, so I really don't even know if this concept is going to work....

I'm really hoping it'll work!

So here it is! Runners can sign up to refer the virtual race to others. The runners will have a unique referral code that others will use during registration. The site, www.justrunyourcity.com will track all registrants. For every runner that you refer, you will receive compensation for that referral!

Let me say that again: You will receive compensation(Money!!) for every registration you refer!!

Pretty cool right??!!

Runners who refer, you will be paid via PayPal after the close of the event. And the payout structure I try to keep simple: $8.00 for every referral. That's it!

There is no confusing tier structure. Just a flat $8.00 for every referral.

The main idea for this is runners can refer others to this race, and earn money that can go towards their own race expenses, such as race fees, running gear, physical therapy, etc.. Or it could be a way to earn money for anything else.

For runners(or non-runners) that are interested in referring runners for this virtual event, click on the link below to fill out a form so that I may reach out to you. And I'll go over more details.

I think(and hope) this will be a great opportunity to share a great virtual event and for individuals to earn extra money. As I mentioned before, this is a new concept, so there are things that I'm still testing and working on. So you will be there with working those things out. But one thing that will not change in this process, is you referral incentive. That incentive amount will never change during this process.

So join me in sharing to many others about this virtual race!! Help others "Run Their City" and make some extra money in the process!!


P.S. This is the first event, so there is a lot of un-treaded waters. This is not an opportunity that will replace your job or career. This is NOT a way that people are going to get crazy rich. The concept is, the more your refer, the more money you'll earn. So if you refer 100s of people, then that's great!! But just know this is not a quick overnight way to earn.

I created a virtual race

I have thought about this project for some time. I have put together a virtual race! I have done a few virtual races in the past and have enjoyed the experience. A great concept: register for a race, submit a time and receive a finisher medal.

Many runners look at this as a great option from a traditional race. The registration fees are not as high. There is no travel to a race. There is no cost that comes from participating in a race such as travel fees, lodging fees, food, etc..

I have met many runners who would register for a virtual race even if they do many traditional races throughout the year. Some will run for a charity for the race is supporting. Others will run for the unique finisher medal.

So while putting together this race, I wanted to design a great medal that would be unique from other virtual race medals. I thought about making themed medals around the holidays and movies. But there's plenty of those medals out there. So I decided to make mine about cities, landmarks, or central parts of a city.

When it came to charity, I wanted to do something different. I'm a believer in giving back to the community. But I wanted to give back to the running community. I'll get into details about that later. But I think it's a great concept where runners can earn money for their own races.

But for now, here is my first virtual race: The Cable Car Half Marathon.





Here are the details of the medal:

Material and process: zinc alloy die casting (with cutouts)
Plating: antique brass
Size:diameter on 4''
Thickness: base thickness is 5 mm, 3D part will be 8mm.
Cable car center: 3D design with soft enamel for color
Backside: sandblasted design

The words: 'Cable Car Half Marathon' and the two rings around the medal are engraved.


Below is the ribbon design:
