Exciting news coming up on a Tuesday! š„³š„³š„³
Lululemonās been doing it for a few years now with the Ghost Race. Run real life miles, log them through a special Strava link, get a prize. Virtual races have been on the rise in recent years, aided by the plethora of apps and devices that we fitness junkies use to log those miles.
This year, lululemonās taking it a step further and introducing a Virtual Run component to the one and only Seawheeze Half Marathon! Iām stoked, because runners who arenāt able to participate in this yearās real seawallinā deal can still get in on the fun. Aka, me.
SeaWheeze 2019 Virtual Run: The Quick Lowdown
- Registration Opens 7/8
- Registration Fee: $28
- Complete 21.1km on Strava between 8/17-24
- Unlike the Ghost Race, choose your own route
- You will receive a special Finisherās medal, which will be different than the IRL Finisherās medal
Additional info can be found on the official Seawheeze website.
I, for one, am stoked for this chance to still run along in spirit, even though I canāt make it to Vancouver this year. Iāll definitely register. Sounds like itās open to anyone willing to run the miles and pay for the medal, and wonāt be capped.
So we can Yoga at home. We can Run at home. Party? I can make my own party any day of the week.
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SHOPPING?!
Snowballās chance on that, but if you donāt ask the question, the answer is 100% no.
100000% STOKED that @SeaWheeze and @Strava are teaming up for a virtual race this year! š„³
Now I know this is a total long shot question but Iām going to ask it anyway:
Will virtual runners be able to shop the online showcase?@lululemon šš¼š¤š¼šš¼

7/28/19 UPDATE: YES. Yes yes yes yes YES virtual runners will be able to shop the online showcase!
If youāre new to the experience, the online showcase merch is not sold in the brick & mortar showcase store, and vice versa. Item limits and selections are low, and they go fast. Prepare for a bit of an adrenaline rush.
The shopping link will be sent out to registered runners on August 1. Oh, and donāt share it with anyone (all youāre doing is making your āexclusiveā gear not-so-exclusive).
