Join us throughout January and February 2021 for the Military Miles Challenge. A virtual challenge for runners and walkers of all ages anywhere at any time. Your goal, should you choose to accept it, is to walk and/or run 165 miles from January 1st until February 28th 2021. But, there is more than just a single medal! Read on for details!
 

Military Miles Challenge runners will receive:
The custom designed Military Miles Challenge medal representing 6 major branches of the US Military (US Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Space Force).
