The Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less (ESMMWL) annual virtual fitness race just announced today, telling partners “Bring your motivation to maintain your weight this holiday season to a whole new level.”

You can read more here about their 2018 virtual race, which is powered by Racery. The race is a virtual marathon and ultra around Paris, France. Racers can complete the 26.2 mile route as many times as they want between November 20 and January 2, 2018. The virtual race comes with lots of optional virtual bling — bibs, postcards and finish placards — to add to the versimiltude and excitement.

This is the second year that ESSMMWL has used Racery to power its virtual challenge.  Last year’s event had more than 1000 participants, with people joining from across the country. ESMMWL is a program of North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services.
