Virtual Races/Runs?

Has anybody heard of these before or given them a go? I have recently signed up for my first virtual race this month....50 miles in November. So far I've managed to complete 17 miles but still have a fair way to go yet.
In the past I have entered physical running events which involved training, driving to the event, waiting in line for the dreaded porter-loo then waiting for the starting gun. Nowadays the virtual race seems to give us a lot more freedom. You sign up online, complete the event in your own time, send proof you've completed distance, then they send a medal and certificate.
What's your take on this new type of race?

As we all live in a virtual world now it makes sense. Do you actually run or just think about it? If it's the latter I might think about it.

I've heard of them, they sound really fun and an imaginative way to get exercise
