Virtual Slam
The Procam Virtual Slam
A year-long recognition programme for runners who complete the feature virtual race of all four Procam events — run from wherever you are, recorded on the HDOR app.
What it is
The Procam Virtual Slam is described by Procam International as a year-long recognition programme “designed to encourage consistency, commitment and perseverance by recognising participants who successfully complete the designated feature virtual races across all four Procam events.”
There is no separate registration and no separate fee. You enter each of the four feature virtual races individually through the official Procam portal, complete each one inside its window and inside its cut-off, and the cycle is tracked from those four entries.
It runs alongside, but entirely separately from, the on-ground Procam Slam.
The cycle
The four feature virtual races
Only these four categories count. You may begin at any of them, but the remaining three must follow consecutively with no gap.

The Virtual 5K does not count
Each event also sells shorter virtual categories — a Virtual 5K everywhere, and a Virtual 10K at Delhi and Mumbai. Only the feature virtual race of each event counts towards the Slam, so entering the wrong category ends a cycle before it starts.
The fourth race has not been published
As of 12 September 2026, the TCS World 10K Bengaluru site shows “Details Coming Soon” for its virtual run, and it is the only one of the four events with no Procam Virtual Slam page at all. Its dates, fees and registration window are unknown. A cycle started now depends on a leg Procam has not yet described.
What each event has published →How it works
From entry to medal
-
Register for each race in the official portal
One account, four entries, ₹599 (or USD 50) each. Use the same name and date of birth every time — that pairing is how the four finishes are linked into one cycle.
registrations.procam.in ↗ -
Run inside the event window
Each event opens a practice week and then an official run window of about eight days. The distance must be covered in one activity, inside 24 hours of starting, and inside that window.
-
Record it on the HDOR app
HDOR is the single source of truth. Strava, Garmin and Apple Watch are allowed only as secondary trackers integrated with HDOR, and manually entered activities are never accepted.
-
Finish inside the cut-off
Covering the distance is not enough — a finish outside the prescribed cut-off earns no Slam credit.

Complete all four, then wait for the courier
The exclusive Procam Virtual Slam Medal is couriered to your registered postal address within 30 days of your fourth finish.
Cut-offs
The bar in each virtual race
| Feature virtual race | Distance | Cut-off | Required pace | On-ground cut-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual 10K | 10 km | 1:30:00 | ≈ 9:00 /km | 1:25:00 |
| Virtual Half Marathon | 21.097 km | 3:45:00 | ≈ 10:40 /km | 3:30:00 |
| Virtual 25K | 25 km | 4:30:00 | ≈ 10:48 /km | 3:45:00 |
| Virtual Marathon | 42.195 km | 7:30:00 | ≈ 10:40 /km | 6:30:00 |
Every virtual cut-off is more generous than its on-ground equivalent — by between five minutes and a full hour. Compare with the on-ground cut-off times.
Who it suits
Four sell-out on-ground races inside twelve months is as much an entry problem as a running one. The virtual cycle removes that: entries are open to anyone who pays, no qualifying timing certificate is required, and the cut-offs sit around 10:40 per kilometre for the three longer races.
What it asks for instead is consistency. Miss a single window and the whole cycle restarts at the next edition.
