Training Competition
The training competition is 4 weeks long. Each day, an individual has the opportunity to earn 1 point for their team by exercising for a total of 30 mins and then logging their workout on Strava. During these 4 weeks, the GE Vernova Women's Network team will track the workouts through each team's Strava page. At the end of the 4 weeks, the team with the most workouts per person will win the workout competition. There will be a second team winner which is the team that fundraises the most money through donations.
This race will be run as a virtual-hybrid race. All participants across any location can complete their race virtually at their own pace during race week.
Participants can choose to join a team or run as individuals. Join an existing team or create your own with co-worker, family and friends (this race is open to all-non GE employees). Participants can run, walk or "sleep" this race. "Sleepers" are those that decide to sign-up, not run the race but contribute financially to the race or to different teams. Bonus points for participation will added at the end of the race:
5 participants = 1 extra point (normalized - added to final score)
After registration, participants will be able to see the information for the Strava link to their teams.
We have recently created a Frequently Asked Questions section.

Tips and Tricks
Training Notes and Tips
- Each run should be at an easy pace; you should be able to talk to a training partner or sing along with your music-save the speed for race day!
- Not ready to run yet? Take each “run” and make it a power walk!
- If you miss a run: don’t worry about doubling up on workouts, just pick up where you left off.
- Need some guidance for strength training or crosstraining workouts? Consider joining the Power Station and participating in one of their training classes!
Still need guidance? Feel free to reach out to one of the Power Station staff members, we are always happy to help! You can email power.station@ge.com with questions about training.
