You will be allowed to use the T-shirt retroactively this year. If you ran any GP virtual race in the Series, (NODM, Pies, Art to Art, or Iron Horse), contact us to receive your 10 GP points.

If you registered for the Orca Run before it was changed to a virtual race, you are automatically registered in the virtual run. The only thing you would need to do is contact Orca Running as soon as possible if there is any change in your mailing address since they are shipping the race packets. They are offering additional distances for the virtual option. Let them know if you would like to switch distances.

To get Grand Prix Series credit for virtual races, you must submit your information to: jerry@silverstrider.com
We cannot depend on virtual races for results. That is one of the reasons we can’t give points for virtual races.
For example, the NODM has extended their race to Dec 31st. Their results will be available in January of 2021.
Also, the Art to Art has now extended their race to August 31st and results will be available in Sept.
We can’t extend race dates. We will stick with original race dates for races in our Series.
Art to Art deadline remains Aug 7th as far as the Grand Prix Series is concerned.
We will publish Art to Art results (as reported to me) for Grand Prix Series players only. The Silver Strider Art to Art Race Report will appear August 11th.
