Description
Join our FoCo 500 Virtual Challenge. Run, walk, bike or hike 500 miles across FoCo, or anywhere! Begin June 5th and track your mileage through Labor Day (September 6th). Do it solo, with a partner, or with a team of up to 4. It's up to you how you divide up the miles among your teammates. Although we would love for you to explore all areas of Forsyth County, you can get your miles anywhere! See below for more info on that.
Solo Participants will complete all 500 miles. Partners and teams of up to 4 can divide the mileage up however they'd like. You will set your mileage goal in your profile. The default mileage is set to 500 miles but you can adjust it based on your goals. You can also keep going past 500 if you'd like!
For Team Registration, each person will register individually. The first person to register will create the team and can share the link with others. Or they can create the team and you can add yourself using the info below.

1. Sign In to RunSignUp
