The runDisney Virtual Series, also called the Virtual Running Shorts Series, happens during the summer and consists of three 5ks that you complete wherever you want to run them. RunDisney sends you digital bibs and information and mails the medals to your home but you complete the miles wherever you want and whenever you want. If you sign up for the challenge then you get a 4th medal to commemorate the finish!
