Procam Slam vs Procam Virtual Slam

Procam has two separate recognition programmes. They are independent and should not be confused with each other.

Programme Format Based On
Procam Slam On-ground Designated on-ground feature races
Procam Virtual Slam Virtual Designated virtual feature races
⚠️ These programmes are independent
Completing the Procam Virtual Slam does not qualify you for the on-ground Procam Slam. Likewise, participation in the on-ground Procam Slam does not qualify you for the Virtual Slam.

IMPORTANT RULE

All 4 Races Must Be Completed Consecutively

You may start with any qualifying race. However, all four qualifying races must be successfully completed consecutively within the same Virtual Slam cycle.

Any Starting Race → Race 2 → Race 3 → Race 4 → 🏅 Virtual Slam

A gap includes failure to register, failure to complete the prescribed distance, failure to complete within the official virtual race period, failure to meet the applicable cut-off timing, or disqualification under the event's Virtual Race Rules.

❌ Failure to register
❌ Failure to complete distance
❌ Outside official race period
❌ Missed cut-off
❌ Disqualification

If you miss, skip or fail to complete any qualifying race, the current Virtual Slam cycle becomes incomplete and you must recommence from the first eligible event of the next Virtual Slam cycle.

Procam Virtual Slam Cut-off Timings

Completing the required distance alone is not sufficient.

Virtual Race Distance Virtual Slam Cut-off
Virtual Half Marathon 21.097 Km 3 hours 45 minutes
Virtual 25K 25 Km 4 hours 30 minutes
Virtual Marathon 42.195 Km 7 hours 30 minutes
Virtual 10K 10 Km 1 hour 30 minutes
⚠️ Cut-off matters: A runner who completes the prescribed distance after the applicable cut-off will not receive credit for that Virtual Slam race.

Procam Virtual Slam Run Tracking

⌚ Other Devices

  • The registered participant must be the person completing the activity.
  • Procam may request supporting documentation where discrepancies or anomalies are identified.

The Ultimate Reward: Procam Virtual Slam Medal

The Procam Virtual Slam Medal is different from the individual finisher medals awarded for completing each qualifying virtual race.

21.097 Km → 25 Km → 42.195 Km → 10 Km

The medal is awarded only to participants who successfully complete all four qualifying virtual races within the prescribed cut-offs and fulfil all applicable eligibility requirements.

📦 The medal will be couriered to the participant's registered postal address within 30 days of completing the fourth and final qualifying virtual race.

Any change in address must be communicated to Procam at least 14 days before completing the fourth Virtual Slam race.

How Much Does the Procam Virtual Slam Cost?

There is no single Virtual Slam entry fee. Participants register for the four qualifying races and pay the applicable registration fee for each event.

TOTAL COST
Delhi Virtual Entry + Kolkata Virtual Entry + TMM 2027 Virtual Entry + Bengaluru Virtual Entry
= Total cost of completing the Procam Virtual Slam
TMM 2027 Virtual Marathon: ₹599 for Indian residents and USD 50 for overseas applicants, inclusive of 18% GST.

What Happens If Procam Detects Suspicious Activity?

The Virtual Slam is based on verified participation, not simply submitting recorded distances.

❌ Manipulated activities
❌ Edited activities
❌ Duplicated activities
❌ Manually modified activities
❌ Identity discrepancies
❌ Invalid activity data
Procam may request additional identity verification or supporting documentation. Where suspicious activity or discrepancies are identified, the organiser may invalidate an activity or withdraw the Virtual Slam Medal even after it has been awarded.
