VIRTUAL OPTION!
For those who are unable to attend the 2024 Driscoll’s Strawberry Classic Race in person, we have the virtual option.  This option allows you to run at your own convenience wherever and whenever  you choose to do it and still get all the race medals, shirts and bibs. (Virtual Race Packets can be picked up at the same time and locations as the live event). Any packets remaining for Virtual runners only will be mailed out Monday after the Live Event.
