The 6th Annual Virtual Race Around the World has crossed the finish line!
What a Finish!
Thank you to everyone who participated from October 15–31, 2025—together, racers logged more than 3,400 miles and raised nearly $11,000 in support of the Pallet Foundation’s mission to advance education, research, and environmental initiatives in the wood packaging industry.
Congratulations to our top finishers and teams, and a huge thank-you to our sponsors for making this global tradition possible. Your energy, generosity, and spirit keep the momentum strong year after year!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again next year – October 15-31, 2026.
