The Castle Virtual Series are weekend race events. Our race days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday and on Monday at 6pm we host a live Prize Giving on Facebook. We celebrate podium places and prizes in the post for the winners, the best dressed, and medals for all.
Race 5 : The Cheshire Cat 19 – 21 June
Race 6 : The Kentish Horse 3 – 5 July
We have 40 races to choose from – Duathlon, Triathlon, Run only, Swim only, Cycle only, Aquabike and Aquathon. So whether you’re 8 or 88 we have a distance for you.
The Castle Virtual Series will donate 20% of the Entry Fee to our charity partner Macmillan Cancer Support so they can continue to deliver the physical, emotional and financial support to those living with cancer and their families, helping to live life as fully as they can.
To create a truly community event, we’re asking all participants carry out your challenge over the Event weekends. We hope you enjoy being active with fellow participants virtually, interacting with each other on the Castle Series social media channels and making the most of the space and time you have to exercise in a safe but competitive environment. Think up creative ways to complete your race is an essential part of the fun! However you need to just GET. IT. DONE.
Multi discipline participants can complete their race in one fell swoop (ie as if you were racing at one of our events) or you can do each leg at separate times over the weekend, for example in the case of a duathlon:
Friday – Leg 1: First Run
Saturday – Leg 2: Cycle
Sunday – Leg 3: Second Run
Single discipline participants can complete their race at any point over the three days.
Sign up for either or both of our remaining Virtual race weekends here:
Macmillan Cancer Support understand that things are especially worrying at this time if you have cancer or someone you love does, so wanted to let you know how they can help. The cancer and coronavirus pages on Macmillan’s website have lots of information and practical support. If you are worried about cancer symptoms, cancer treatment, money, or need to talk to someone, visit their website or call their helpline on 0808 808 00 00. Lines are currently open Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm. You can also talk to other people affected by cancer (which can be a big help) through Macmillan’s Online Community at any time night or day.
We and your fellow participants are counting on your integrity and honesty when timing each leg and submitting your results.
Once you’ve completed a leg, take a picture or screenshot of the evidence of time and distance covered. Results submission follows a 2 STEP process via MY EVENTS portal. 1, Edit Your Registration to input your timings then simply upload you image document(s) and we’ll do the rest!
