FAQs

How does this work?

This is a virtual race, so there is no physical track to meet anyone else at (unless you choose to report your time in a local 5k race), so participants are given a weekend to run 5k anywhere in the world, then track and report your time to fitotron5000@gmail.com with the subject: RACE RESULT and your registration confirmation number.

Are there any prizes for winning this event?

Since this race is on the honour system, we will not incentivize fraudulent time reporting by offering any prizes other than the trophy and t-shirt offered to everyone who registers, however, if you send proof of your time when you report it, it will be noted in the official race results to be published. Prizes may be considered for future races.





What do I get for signing up?

The main incentive to sign up is the good feeling you get knowing the proceeds will go to the 2016 Project for Awesome. You will also receive a medal in the mail commemorating your commitment to the health and well-being of the Nation of Hello Internet. There is also an option to include an official Fitotron 5000 t-shirt from DFTBA in your registration if you do not already own one.





Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

There are no ID or age requirements; as long as your payment has gone through we will send your award and shirt to the shipping address provided. However, you are resposible for your own wellbeing during the event, as organizers cannot guarantee the health and safety of participants in an event of this nature, so if there are any concerns of that nature, please use common sense and follow the advice of your local health professionals.
