Procam Slam vs Procam Virtual Slam

IMPORTANT RULE

You Must Complete All 4 Races Consecutively

The official guidelines state that it is mandatory to complete the four qualifying virtual races consecutively and without any gap.

Race 1 → Race 2 → Race 3 → Race 4 → 🏅 Virtual Slam

Missing, skipping or failing to complete any one of the qualifying races means the current Virtual Slam cycle remains incomplete. As per Procam's rules, the participant will then have to restart the journey from the first qualifying 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 time will not receive credit for that Virtual Slam race, even if the distance was successfully covered.

Procam Virtual Slam Runs Tracking

Procam Virtual Slam has specific conditions regarding activity tracking. Participants must primarily record their activity using the official HDOR app designated for the respective event.

📱 HDOR

HDOR is treated as the single source of truth for Virtual Slam validation.

⌚ Other Devices

Strava, Garmin and Apple Watch can be used where properly integrated with HDOR.

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 and meet all applicable distance, timing, tracking and eligibility requirements.

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

How Much Does the Procam Virtual Slam Cost?

There is no single Virtual Slam entry fee. Participants register separately for each of 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.
The final cost of the complete Virtual Slam depends on the individual registration fees applicable to all four qualifying events.

What Happens If Procam Detects Suspicious Activity?

Procam has extensive activity-validation provisions for the Virtual Slam. The programme is based on verified participation, rather than simply submitting recorded distances.

❌ Manipulated activities
❌ Edited activities
❌ Duplicated activities
❌ Manually modified activities

Procam may request additional identity verification or supporting documentation. In cases involving suspicious activity or discrepancies, the organiser can invalidate an activity or withdraw the Virtual Slam Medal even after it has been awarded.
