About
To celebrate the annual summer tradition of Shark Week, Relevant Running brings you another of our signature "live virtual" races with a unique and relevant theme! We're bringing you the best and most unique medals and bling for this race including; our custom designed limited edition Shark Bait porthole medal with a real fossilized shark tooth. The medal is a working porthole, complete with translucent window and a hinge so you can open and close it. Each shark tooth is carefully crafted by a local artisan into a pendant that can be attached to an eyelet on the back of the medal as pictured, or made into a necklace with the included black leather lanyard. See pictures below for the Shark Bait medal and real samples of our (soon to be your) shark teeth pendants.
Join us on Saturday July 12th 2025 for the SHARK BAIT "LIVE VIRTUAL" 5K/10K. This is no ordinary virtual run. It's a unique virtual running event, with thousands of runners who have already experienced and love our live virtual race format. Among other things, there is a scheduled race date and start time (Saturday July 12th 2025 at 8am Eastern time USA), a virtual check in and start via text or Facebook live-stream on race day morning, timekeeping (runners will text screenshots or pictures of their chosen method of time and distance keeping), a private and active Facebook group dedicated to our virtual runners, and age group winners. Please note, Facebook is NOT required to participate. You can use text to communicate as well. All participants will receive the one of a kind custom Porthole SHARK BAIT 5K/10K medal with real fossilized shark tooth pendant (scroll down for pics).
******* If you cannot or do not wish participate on the scheduled race date of Sat. July 12th 2025, you can absolutely still register. Please select the "medal and tooth only" option. This option ships about a week before the race date. But, keep in mind, you won't be eligible for age group awards (engraving for your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day.
All registered runners should join private Facebook Group for access to positive discussions and posts regarding our virtual races, race day live-stream virtual check-in and virtual start (Please note, Facebook is NOT required to participate. You can use text just as well)
