Budget Virtual Races with Swag Late June 2020

Throughout the spring of 2020, many races were cancelled and postponed due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. Runners saw the rise in popularity of virtual races. 

Are you looking for your next virtual race? I found the following budget virtual races that offer different levels of swag. Most include a t-shirt or a medal and another item; some include both a t-shirt and a medal. These might have additional fees, like a sign-up platform fee or a shipping fee. They also have different requirements for submitting results and when you need to complete your run.

I'm not affiliated with any of these races and cannot vouch for their quality. Please check all available information before registering in case of errors in the list below. Also note that some of these races support charitable causes and will give you the option to add a donation to your low-cost registration.
