Great American 5000 Virtual Race

Got in an email:
I hope you are doing well and staying healthy! I thought you might be interested in Sports Backers newest event, the Great American 5000. This is a virtual team race across the United States, starting in San Francisco and ending in New York City. Teams can be made up of up to 24 people although awards will be given out for 12-person and 24-person teams. Since this is a virtual race, your team members can be from across the country (or the world). It is $50 per person and includes a medal, shirt, and more. Feeding America is the event charity.
The rules are simple – each team can only run/walk 24 hours in a day. Those miles can be done at any time (meaning two team members can be running at the same time) but the total hours in one day can only add up to 24. Each team member can enter their daily mileage in the tracker and watch your team dot move across the country with the other team dots. The race starts on June 14th.
