Anniston Youth Runner Program

To join the AYRC Mileage Challenge, report monthly mileage at the end of each month to record your child’s miles for that month. Please get your miles in by 7th of the next month. Submission form is closed PROMPTLY at the end of the 7th day.

Miles will only be accepted by adding them to the link provided after your child(ren) is/are registered.

As long as your child is a registered member of the Anniston Youth Runners Club and miles are reported EVERY month, they count. If you miss reporting miles for a month there will be an opportunity the following month to add those miles in with the current months miles. If you miss more than two months, you will have to email Karla to have the missed miles added. If you miss more than three months, you will be removed from the mileage challenge. Please don't make this a habit, report each month.

What miles count?:
Walking, Running, Treadmill and Elliptical. Basically any miles achieved during a session with running/walking being the main purpose will be counted toward the mileage program totals. Running/walking as a byproduct of another activity such as basketball, soccer, football, baseball, shopping, use of counting daily steps do not count. Swimming or cycling do not count.

There are plenty of free apps that can be used to keep track on miles: Nike Run Club, Strava, Apple Fitness
