London, June 16 (IANS) Virtual racing will see a free-to-enter iRace Live Virtual 10km on July 5 as there is no sign of proper road racing back on track in Britain amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We aim to get some of the UK’s top runners involved,” said the organisers on their website.
The organisers will also host races on a live interactive map at 10 am on Sundays and 7 pm on Wednesdays.
“All runners must run with a sports watch, a phone, or both to track their performance and receive a time,” they said.
