Endless Summer Miles Challenge

Miles de Mayo Challenge (our first month long event) was a huge success. We had no idea how motivational it would be and the community support that organically grew through the online presence.  After seeing these and the way that you care for each and every person, it was a no brainer, we had to do it again.

So we came up with the Endless Summer Miles Challenge to encourage everyone to keep the ball rolling and have fun and stay motivated throughout the Months of June & July.  Yes, you heard it correctly.  This will be a two month challenge, hence the name "Endless Summer".  We have also changed it a little as all participants will receive a shirt and a sweet finisher medal.

For everyone that took place in the Miles de Mayo Challenge you know what it is all about.

For anyone that did not, here you go.  The Endless Summer Miles Challenge will be a two month long mileage challenge, June & July tracking and totaling miles you rack up on foot(run, jog, walk, hike, etc).  The goal is to get as many miles as you possibly can, or really want, or think you want.  Really there is no correct amount.  We know that everyone has their own goals, and run or run/walk for their own personal reasons.  Therefore, we are putting this challenge together to just keep you motivated to accomplish whatever "your" goal is.  We will have a leaderboard and live daily standings so everyone knows where they sit among the other participants. Participants will be reaching different mileage levels (clubs) as the month goes on; earning them bragging rights and one of the following awesome t-shirts.

Earn one of the following shirts:

• 100 Miles Completed
  200 Miles Completed
  300 Miles Completed
  400 Miles Completed
  500 Miles Completed
• 600 Miles Completed
• 700 Miles Completed
• 800 Miles Completed
• 900 Miles Completed
• 1000 Miles Completed

This event is awesome because age does not matter, pace does not matter; just make sure you get in the miles and have a way to prove it.

If you have any questions you can always email us at: RedPointerMonthlyMileChallenge@gmail.com

Unlike the Miles de Mayo Challenge, you will not need to email proof of your run/walk/hike.  We still need you all to make sure you have a copy in case we need to verify anything throughout the challenge.  But we are not requiring everyone to email in daily. 

The new Tracking Tool will be through RunSignUp.com and you will enter in your own miles.  This simplifies everything.  Less mistakes and more real time.  We are very excited for this upgrade.The leaderboard is a bit more user friendly and is easy to search and nice on the eyes.  If you are wanting to see what each person is running everyday, you will need to click on their "name" and view their monthly journal.

We will be posting videos, posts, and a FAQ page to help everyone transition.  But once everyone does, I think we will all see the power of the new system.

We will be transitioning the Miles de Mayo Challenge Facebook Page, into the Facebook page for this new challenge as well.  The power of the community is already there and we are not ready to lose that. Please go to the Facebook Page and share pictures from your run, and anything else you are doing to stay fit and motivated.  This is the perfect place to encourage all your other fellow runners/walkers. This is a place that we can still be a group through all of this social distancing.

We will be mailing out the T-Shirts and Medals upon completion of the Challenge (two month), so we can get you the correct mileage club shirt you have earned!!
