This year we've partnered with Leslie Jordan for our race shirt because they stand behind sustainable shirts. By using recycled shirts for our challenge, it brings numerous benefits, aligning with global sustainability efforts and responsible event management. Recycled fabrics contribute to environmental conservation by reducing the demand for virgin resources, minimizing energy consumption, and decreasing waste in landfills, this eco-friendly choice also helps in lowering the event’s carbon footprint, conserving water resources, and promoting a circular economy.
Swag will be shipped out to racers. Shipping is included in the challenge pricing. Shirt, sunglasses, Forget-Me-Not seeds & medals will be shipped out all together.
Racers will also get virtual race badges as you reach destinations along your race course!

Trifecta Fitness Challenge
What is it?
The Trifecta Fitness Challenge is a 3 challenge event designed to keep athletes moving October 1st thru June 15th. We've recognized that many athletes are often struggling during these darker, colder (cooler) months and we wanted to make a special way to keep everyone active. We recognize how big of a piece physical fitness is to your mental health and we see how many people struggle with mental health during these colder months. These 3 challenges allow all kind of athlete to log their minutes/miles with an objective without the added stress an in-person physical event often has on individuals. We notice that often challenge athletes are those that are competitive in an intrinsic form though they love the motivation our leaderboards, weekly newsletter, private social media group and swag give them as far as being apart of something big.
All racers that sign-up for all 3 challenge events by November 15th will receive this Trifecta Challenge ring FOR FREE. After November 15th, there will be a limited quantity of rings available yearly for purchase at a first to purchase, first served basis but once they're gone, they're gone!
