6 Beginner Virtual Races You Can Start Today!

Working out on your own for the first time can be a challenge. Workout routines can be confusing and eventually become boring. Luckily, virtual fitness has your back! Fitness apps can help you learn new habits and motivate you to stick with your new routine. Virtual races can help you ease into conditioning your body as the app keeps track of your progress.

But what is a virtual race? Take a virtual adventure and learn fun facts as you track your progress during the race. The best part of it is that you can go at your own pace walking, running or cycling your way to the end! You can also take more than one day to complete a virtual race if that's what you would like.

The Yes.Fit Virtual Race Challenge Series are designed to help beginners build stamina, starting with shorter mile races, then increasing the distance over time with 11 virtual challenge series races. Here's a sample of what you will experience:

• Liberty Island is a one-mile race and a great beginning run for all those who are new to virtual races. Go at your own pace and explore Liberty Island and its history.
• Coney Island is a great race for beginners. This 2.8-mile virtual race can be enjoyed while walking or running or a combination, as you condition your body and have fun exploring the legendary wooden roller coaster and boardwalk.
• Kailua Kona on the big island of Hawaii is famous for its Kona coffee. You will challenge yourself here with a 6.4-mile virtual race along the virtual white sand beaches for an exciting adventure.
