FAQ
- What is the Frozen Feet Challenge? You walk, run, hike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski one mile or more outside every day for 6 weeks. All miles must be outdoors.
- How do I log my miles? Log your miles on the RunSignup page. You must enter your miles manually—no automatic syncing. You may upload GPX, FIT, or TCX files if you’d like.
- When should I log my miles? Log miles daily or weekly. Logging immediately after your activity gives the best success rate.
- What if I registered someone else? Make sure the registration uses their email address, not yours, so they can log miles and receive updates.
- Can I join or create a team? Yes. You may join or create a team during registration. Teams make the challenge more fun and help with accountability.
- What if the weather is bad? Most weather counts—dress appropriately. A “mulligan day” will only be issued if conditions are truly unsafe. You’ll receive an email notification, and it will be posted on Facebook and RunSignup early that morning.
- Can I bike or downhill ski for my miles? No. Activities involving wheels or gravity assistance don’t count. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing do count.
- I’m having trouble logging miles. What should I do? Confirm you are signed in with the same email you used to register on RunSignup.
- Do sick days count? No sick days are allowed. Missing a day disqualifies you from the challenge, though you're welcome to continue being active when you feel better.
- Can I split my mile into multiple sessions during the day? No. Your one-mile requirement must be completed in a single effort.
- Can I bank miles for future days? No. You cannot save or “bank” miles. The challenge is one mile per day (or more).
- Can I do more than one mile a day? Yes! For example, if you walk 1 mile in the morning and 0.5 miles later, you may log 1.5 total miles for that day.
