Let’s celebrate the Olympics with a personal virtual race around Rio de Janeiro

Can’t squeeze a quick flight to Rio into your end-of-summer schedule?

We’ve got the next best thing, a 50-mile virtual race around Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the 31st Olympiad.

The virtual route starts at Jardin Botanico de Rio, hits the beaches of Copacabana and finishes at the Maracanã Stadium, where Olympic opening ceremonies will be held. Every time you log miles — run, walked or even cycled at home — you’ll see a new 360-degree street view matching your new virtual location in Rio.
