J&A RACING
J&A Racing is an event management company championing the race community in Hampton Roads. Leading up to their largest race of the year, the Shamrock Marathon, they needed to cancel the event due to COVID-19. This was a difficult decision, impacting the entire racing community. Wanting to contribute, J&A Racing is making the best of the situation and has created virtual races for the running community. They hope to encourage people by helping them to get outside and to set goals for themselves.
“There’s so many unknowns on how long we’re going to be stuck inside or working at home—that exercise is a release for everybody—so we all came up with some ideas on how we can run virtually throughout the year. To get everybody through this, to give them a goal, to get outside.”
