America 250 Challenge – July Race

Welcome to the second race in the Snowbird Classic Virtual Race Series: America 250 Challenge.

This July, we’re celebrating something bigger.

250 years. 50 states. One competition.

Run anywhere. Represent your state. Log your miles.
Every step counts toward your state’s total as you compete for summer bragging rights in honor of America’s 250th birthday.

This isn’t just about the heat anymore…
This is about pride.

Your state. Your miles. Your contribution.

Whether you're running in Florida, back up north, or somewhere in between—this is your chance to represent where you’re from.

It’s patriotic. It’s competitive. It’s a little louder this month.
And your state is counting on you.

If you are adding on the shirt and medal purchase, those items will be mailed the last week of the month during the challenge. 

🌎 Series Overview

The Snowbird Classic Virtual Race Series is a four-part summer running series designed to keep our snowbird and transplant family engaged during the toughest running and walking months of the year—June, July, August, and September.

While the summer heat slows down in-person racing, the Snowbird Classic keeps the momentum going by allowing participants to run anywhere, anytime, at any distance—while proudly representing the state they call home (or escape from).

• Community impact

All true to the Apex brand.
