      A Ginkgo Tree! Beautiful saffron yellow leaves. There are male and female trees and can pollinate over a mile away. Females have walnut like seeds that you don't want to pick up - can cause a rash. I have a similar photo of my deceased Newfoundland mix, Sophie, standing in the newly fallen leaves in my mother's driveway. Thanks for sharing and evoking sweet memories. Be well.
      @Hux I didn’t realize that about the ginkgo trees. Happy to share the views in my little town. :)

      Is there a way to delete work logs? I’ve been adding hikes and walks but I’d like to just record runs this month if possible.
      @RunWithScissor try clicking on your photo icon, then "personal tracking", then click on the little settings icon next to an activity and one option should be delete activity! Let me know if that doesn't work...
      @RhodeRunner I deleted 15 miles of hiking/walking, but I don't think it deducted it off my overall mileage. I should only have 14.3 miles of running right now.
      Hey glad to see it seemed to update your miles to reflect what you wanted! 👍@RunWithScissor
      @RhodeRunner yes, perfect, thanks! It must have just taken a day to 'refresh'. Just wanted to see how far I can run in a month. Great race so far, thanks for all your hard work!
    • RhodeRunner Oct 3, 2020
      Day 3 and we've already got athletes closing in on 26.2 miles! If you finish the marathon and you're up for more, please feel free to keep going, as there will also be a prize for most miles logggd! And for those of us on a slower pace, never fear, we'll have two or three random draw winners of those that have completed at least 26.2 miles by October 31. Happy racing!

      It's the first day of the Virtual History Marathon! We can't wait to see everyone's activity all month long and we are so grateful for the support from all of you who have joined the race! Don't forget to look at the race map and check out the pins for more information (and photos!) about the historic sites you'll be passing along the race! Unfortunately the race progress that the app shows you after you log an activity does not give you the historic site information. Race prizes will be announced throughout the race, and will include (but not limited to!) first marathon finisher (local), first marathon finisher (out of town), most miles logged, most unique activity logged, and more! Prize options include gift cards to Wegmans, Target, REI, and local restaurants!

    Join us in this virtual marathon touring some of Gloucester's historic sites, from colonial homes, churches, and the courthouse to a 1920s-era Rosenwald school!
    You’ll start your marathon on Gloucester’s historic Main Street, at the restored 1930s Texaco station that functions as our headquarters, now affectionately referred to as the CAPE, or the Center for Archaeology, Preservation and Education. From here you’ll head north on Main Street, first passing the T.C. Walker House (home of Thomas Calhoun Walker, the first African American lawyer in Gloucester), and continuing through the Main Street Historic District on your way to the former Botetourt Hotel (now Gloucester Museum of History) and the historic court circle which encompasses the 1766 courthouse building and the c. 1820s debtor’s jail.

    Next you’ll race north on Route 17 before heading west toward the York River, making a stop at Werowocomoco, an important Powhatan Indian town since the 13th century, and the location where paramount chief Powhatan and his people interacted with Jamestown settlers. Returning to Route 614, you’ll continue racing south to the birthplace of Dr. Walter Reed, the Army surgeon who helped identify the cause of yellow fever. Continue south to the intersection of Route 614 and Aberdeen Creek Rd, and you can look to your right toward the location of Rosewell Plantation, a large 18th-century mansion owned by the Page family, built in the 1720s and burned in 1916. Portions of the mansion still stand as one of Virginia's most impressive ruins. Next you’ll race along Route 614 back to Route 17, and head south to Abingdon Church (built in 1755), one of the largest and most intact colonial churches in Virginia. Just a few steps further south on Route 17 you’ll see on your right the Woodville Rosenwald School, one of six Rosenwald schools built in Gloucester for African-American students, and the only one still standing. From Woodville School the race will take you south and west to the entrance to Machicomico State Park, within which is located Timberneck, constructed c. 1800. Just a quick hop, skip, and a jump through some back roads, and congratulations! You’ve arrived at the final race destination, our flagship site, Fairfield Plantation. Built in 1694 for Lewis Burwell, the manor house was one of the largest brick houses of its time and included distinctive architectural characteristics like its triple diagonally-set chimney stacks. We hope you enjoy the virtual race as much as we enjoyed creating it!

    Exercise anywhere you want. Then log the activity and see your avatar move across the route. Catch a Google Street View of the new virtual locale, then cheer your real fellow racers! Share your bib on social media! Brag about your streaks or longest mileage!

    We've got racers all over the globe! So to keep everyone on the same page, we've come up with some handy guidelines:


    1. Watch this video of Racery pro tips.

    2. Complete your bio. Include #groups to better track friends or colleagues.

    3. Update your passcode in settings.

    4. If your race includes activity conversions, we try to keep the playing field level, and conversions are based on effort, ie 1 hour cycling = ~1 hour swimming = ~1 hour tennis. Please log cycling minutes, not miles.

    5. To delete a log, click its gear on the right.

    6. Don’t like one type of email? Unsubscribe at the bottom of that email.

    7. If you post on social media, please include #raceryapp so we can find you!

    8. We rely on the honor system. You don't have to use a device to prove your miles, a good map or watch suffices.

    9. Only log intentional exercise please.

    10. Attribute your exercise to the appropriate day—don't combine workouts from multiple days.

    11. Only backdate logs for a race up to two weeks in the past.

    12. Activities submitted after the race ends will not count toward race leaderboards.
