About this app

"Beach City Sports is on a mission to bring friends & family together over the holidays. Invite your friends & family - no mater where they are in the world - to connect from any location in this virtual 5K walk-or-run experience.

Let’s be honest, the quarantine made us do it. But this virtual 5K we have developed is going to blow your socks (and running shoes) off!

We’ve been working hard to ensure this virtual event is still jam-packed with all the excitement of a traditional 5K - without having to gather in large groups.

Virtual App technology - an interactive worldwide map showing every street our Runners have run.
3 Pop-up augmented reality color zones (one at every mile).
Our augmented reality camera applies a new color to your face after each mile.
Every ticket also includes: Unlimited attempts at The BCS Turkey Trot 5K over the 4 day time period, a tangible BCS Medal mailed to you after you finish.

Invite your family and friends as you build your team. Motivate each other to get out and get moving over the holiday weekend. As much as we hate being apart, we are coming together as the BCS Family community to spread happiness, healthiness, and of course, FITNESS!
