Calling all 90s fans who love to run/jog/walk! Looking for an awesome excuse to give back to kids in need while experiencing all the 90s nostalgic feels? Then the 'I Miss the 90s' Virtual Run is for you!
The 90s were a very different time. Kids used to ride their bikes around the neighborhood and play at friend's houses all day, only to return back home once the sun had gone down. Families enjoyed cassette tapes, VHS movies, bright colored clothing, a new era of video games, fun trips to the arcade, mullet haircuts (now making a comeback - LOL), sweet rollerblades, "free" music downloads, Boy Band obsessions, epic chat sessions on AOL Instant Messenger, and so many other great memories.
It was a great time indeed! That's why we're bringing it back! Racewire & Stack Sports have teamed up with Every Kid Sports, an amazing charitable organization with a mission that help provide youth sports grants to kids from income-restricted families so that they too can experience the positive benefits of playing.

FAQs:
What is a virtual run?
A virtual race is a run that can be done anywhere you choose, at any pace. We welcome runners, walkers, and joggers of all ages. Though you can even use your treadmill, one of the reasons for hosting this event is to get people outdoors.
How Does it Work?
This event is a fun run, so the only winners are you for staying active and the children who receive a donation. Although there is a race date assigned to the race of Jan 13, you can run on that date or any date after and at your own pace, wherever you'd like. Or you can run before that date without your shirt and medal if you'd like and then get the shirt and medal later.
How Do I Track my Distance and Time my Run?
We accept results on the honor system, so you can track your distance and time however you like. The most accurate way to do this is by using a running GPS watch, but there are also several free smartphone apps available for iPhones and Android devices. A shared Google sheet will be emailed to all runners after Jan 13 that you can add your time to if you'd like to see how you stacked up to other runners.
What is a Digital Bib?
You will be emailed a Digital Bib before race day that you can print off and run with if you'd like.
Can I Participate if I Live Abroad?
Yes, we anticipate runners from around the globe participating, but we can only ship shirts and medals to US and Canadian addresses.
Can I use Social Media to Publicize my Run?
Of course! We encourage you to invite your friends and family to join you to make your run a lot more fun and to help raise more funds for EveryKidSports! Show the online world your effort, take a selfie, share your race course, your SWAG, and your story! And please don’t forget to tag Racewire on Facebook and Racewirelive on Instagram and use hashtag #IMissthe90sVirtualRun.
When Will I Get my Medal and T-shirt?
Shirt and medals will be mailed on Jan 8 and will arrive right before the scheduled race date. You must register by Jan 3, 2024 to ensure you receive your shirt & medal by race day Jan 13. If you register after Jan 3, you can still run on a later date once you receive your SWAG or run without your swag at any time.
