Abstract: In our modern society, participation in street running events became a phenomenon whose importance has increased greatly, becoming more and more present in everyday life. Pursuant to the opinion poll conducted with the support of Quantix Media among participants in running events, there was a considerable decrease in the time spent running during the pandemic. In this context, the organisers of street running events had to rethink new strategies and conducting sports competitions in the virtual environment. This is possible by respecting the current rules and regulations, while hoping to encourage the maintenance and development of the running phenomenon. This study aims to perform a comparative analysis between street running events held in the virtual environment and physically held street running events, organized by Bucharest Running Club Association.
