The public is invited to register and participate in these worldwide events, providing a great way to be a Force Behind the Forces® and strengthen our service members and their families who sacrifice so much for our nation. Individuals and families can run, walk, skip, jump, swim or bike their way to races of varying lengths, putting their fitness efforts toward a good cause.

Each race participant will receive a downloadable bib, T-shirt, and finisher medal. Those who register for all four races in the USO 2021 Virtual Race Series no later than each race's end date will receive a commemorative wall hook to proudly display all the race medals.

Participants also have the option to donate a race, and the USO will give a complimentary registration to a military service member. Check out the individual USO Virtual Race Series pages for more information.
