Review on Virtual Runner by Sudais Quadri
Running for Charity, Virtual Runner© still needs Financial support
Virtual Runner operates on the same principle just like any other form of running, with the exception that the race may be completed in any place, at any speed, on a track or outside in another place! All you have to do is enter a race and show proof of participation and if you win or top the leaderboard a virtual medal is mailed to you. In plain sense fir easy understanding, you are basically running for charity. The platform was founded in 2015 and is also a fundraising platform that has helped smaller charity organizations in the past to raise funds.
Generally, joining in and racing against yourself (or others!) costs between £6 and £15 every race. After converting this amount to my local currency, I found out that it wasn't going to benefit me at all. I just had to deposit it since the money was also going to charity. With a target of £1,000,000, Virtual Runner has been able to raise about £652,930. They've helped alot of charity organizations as well and as such I'll encourage my readers to donate a few pounds in order to help the company fulfil their goals. For easier outreach, there's a mobile app available for download in Google Playstore and Apple store as well.
Pros
- Registration is very easy
- The user interface is well laid out
- The company is a fundraising company
- A bit of users fees are directed towards charity
Cons
- The fees for each race seems a bit high in my own perspective
