Frequently Asked Questions
What is R3 Run Club?
R3 Run Club is an inclusive online running and walking community built on support, encouragement, and confidence. We welcome all paces, all experience levels, and all bodies. Whether you’re just starting out or finding your rhythm again, you belong here.
Do I have to be a runner to join?
No. R3 is for runners and walkers of all levels. If you move your body, you’re welcome here. Movement is a pace, and every step forward counts.
Is there a membership fee?
No membership is required. R3 Run Club is a community you can be part of simply by showing up and choosing to move. Some events may have a registration fee, but there is no cost to be part of the community itself.
What is a virtual race?
A virtual race allows you to complete the distance on your own schedule, wherever you choose. You can run or walk outdoors, on a treadmill, at home, or anywhere that works for you. There is no set start time and no pressure.
How do I register for events?
All event registrations are handled securely through RunSignUp. Select your event and complete the online registration form to confirm your participation.
Do I have to complete the race on a specific day?
Virtual races can be completed anytime during the event window. Many participants choose to complete them during the featured month or timeframe, but flexibility is always encouraged.
Is there a time limit?
No. There are no time limits and no minimum pace requirements. A slow run is still a run, and walking is always welcome.
What if I don’t feel confident or experienced enough?
R3 Run Club was created for moments exactly like that. Confidence grows through consistency and support, not comparison. This is a safe space to start, restart, and grow at your own pace.
Will I receive race swag?
For events that include swag, details will be listed on the event registration page. Swag may include items such as medals, bibs, or other race-related items and will be shipped according to the event’s shipping timeline.
Can I participate from anywhere?
Yes. R3 Run Club virtual events can be completed from anywhere in the world, as long as shipping options are available for event swag.
Can I walk instead of run?
Absolutely. Walking, jogging, running, and movement of any kind are welcome. There is no one way to participate.
