About Us

At Pace for Change, we believe fitness has the power to inspire impact. We host fun, themed virtual races that you can run or walk anytime, anywhere—at your own pace. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, each race is a chance to move with purpose. A portion of every race entry goes directly to a charity connected to the theme, helping support causes that matter.

Run for a reason. Race for change.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a virtual race?
A virtual race is an event you can run or walk from any location—on a trail, treadmill, sidewalk, or even at the gym. You choose the time, place, and pace.

Q: How do I participate?
Simply sign up for a race, and we’ll send your race packet (which may include a medal, shirt, bib, etc.). Then run or walk the distance whenever it fits your schedule!

Q: Do I have to submit my time?
Nope! Submitting your time is optional. Our races are about movement, not competition—but you can share your time and photos with our community if you’d like.

Q: Where does the charity donation go?
Each race supports a specific cause. A portion of every race entry is donated to a designated nonprofit, such as the American Cancer Society or the Humane Society. You'll see which charity your race supports in the race details.

Q: Is this tax-deductible?
Because part of your purchase is a product (shirt, medal, etc.), it typically isn't tax-deductible. However, we make direct donations from our revenue to charities and share transparency where possible.

Q: When will I receive my race packet?
We aim to ship within 5–7 business days. You'll get tracking info as soon as it’s on the way!
