1When naming courses, keep in mind that most devices have a limit where they only look at the first 15 characters in the name of a course. If there are multiple courses where the first 15 characters are the same the device will think they are the same course. To work around this limitation, make sure the names vary within the first 15 characters.

• First Male/Female finishers for each race.

SINGLETON Race Series
APRIL

DC SINGLETON ALPHA

Old Dominion Racing has created a new social distancing Race Series called The Singleton.

Race Description

The Singleton Race Series is a selection of routes to allow you to safely participate in a race even while maintaining social distance from other runners. These beautiful and straightforward routes are provided each month. You get to run the routes on your own time - any time - within that month. You can even run the same route over and over until you get it just right, then your best time will be posted.

Is this another “virtual race?” Not quite. With a virtual race, people could be running anywhere, on any track, even on a treadmill. They’re not experiencing the same literal ups and downs as everyone else. With the Singleton Race Series, we are able to track you on a route that is consistent for all runners, creating an even playing field. Old Dominion Racing is maintaining the same level of equality and fairness that we provide with our conventional races.

Please be careful and stay hydrated. These races do not have Police or Waterstand support. And of course, keep your distance from others, wash your hands, and wear your masks.

Registration Fees 

BYOD - $13/month
Bring your own device. You must run with a device that can create a .gpx file. You will be required to submit your race details (.gpx file) to ODR (more information will be provided on how to submit this information). Includes a one-time commemorative Singleton T-Shirt and Medal!

(Here is how to download a .gpx file from Garmin)

BASIC - $17/month

Upon the cancellation of your subscription and the safe return of the device to ODR, we will reimburse $30 of the leasing fee. This is to ensure that we receive back the devices.
