NEW YORK: Jogging solo in Florida in near 80 degree Fahrenheit heat, Theresa Winterhalter's New York City Marathon experience last November looked much different to what you would expect from the world's biggest marathon.

Capiraso said he was eager to draw in runners who might be unable to commit to the travel or expenses, and sees huge potential in virtual races."I think it's really exciting where it’s headed and where it’s going to go," said Capiraso."People feel as though they are part of something." Virtual marathon participants will log their marathon miles through Strava, a social networking site geared toward athletes, choosing to run on the day of the marathon or one of the three days leading up to it.

Winterhalter charted her precise route close to her Clearwater home in advance, which included a stop at a grocery store at mile 20, and finished her virtual race in a little over five hours last year.
