Description
Create a team with your family and friends and challenge yourselves to run the distance across Illinois virtually. Select the 210 mile challenge to complete the distance east to west or the 390 mile challenge to complete the distance north to south.
Here's how it works:
1. Choose your teammates and come up with a fun team name. The first person to register creates the team. After the team has been created, each team member can join the team during their individual registration process.
2. Once all team members are registered, each of team member runs where they want and when they want to accomplish the distance. (Ex: Jill runs 100 miles, Jack runs 20 miles (slacker), and Bill runs 90 miles to complete the 210 mile east-to-west challenge).
3. Once your team has completed the 210 or 390 mile challenge in 30 days, submit your results to get your finisher certificate and you'll have earned bragging rights to say you and your team accomplished the #GreatRunAcrossIllinois.
4. Once you have registered, your shirt will be shipped to you right away. Once you complete the challenge, your medal will be shipped to you.
