The Road to Glory : North America Virtual Marathon 2026 brings together the passion of running and the excitement of the Football World Cup. Inspired by the host nations — USA, Canada, and Mexico — this virtual marathon invites runners to chase glory one kilometer at a time. Run anywhere, anytime, and experience the thrill of the world’s biggest football celebration towards your own road to glory.

You may complete your registered distance in a single session or accumulate it over multiple runs.
For example, if you register for the 42km category and run an average of 5km per day, you will complete your challenge in approximately 8.5 days.

What is a Virtual Run?
A virtual run is a race that you can complete at your own pace and time. 

Virtual running works exactly the same as any other type of running but the difference is that the entered race can be run at any location, either outside or inside on a treadmill. 

All you have to do is register for a race and provide evidence that you have done it. The evidence can be a screenshot of your running app, a photo of the treadmill screen etc. Once this is done, the entitlements will be mailed to your address.
