Here are some real life success stories of starting a race organizer:

1. Virtual Run Events powered by Moon Joggers ($1.14M/year)

Angie Webb, the founder of Virtual Run Events, came up with the idea when she challenged her sister to run 1,000 miles in 2013. Inspired by seeing the moon while driving, they decided to see if they could log enough miles as a group to reach the moon. After attracting over 1,200 participants within three weeks, they realized the potential and started hosting virtual races to raise money for charities. Eight years later, they have hosted hundreds of races, donated over $860,000 to charities, and are on track to reach their goal of $1 million by the end of 2021.
