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.

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.

Run any of the routes at anytime you would like. Just be sure to submit when you finish.

Special Notes
Please note that the routes will not be marked. You must study the routes on our provided maps (see below) and/or download the provided .gpx file Garmin or other such device give you turn by turn directions.
At this point, the ODR GPS trackers do not tell you WHERE to go, they only track where you have been. We are working towards this capability, stay tuned!
