Description

Challenge yourself or create a team with your family and friends to accomplish virtually running the distance across Minnesota. Select the 181 mile challenge to complete the distance from St. Paul to South Dakota or the 407 mile challenge to run 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 160 miles, Jack runs 80 miles (slacker), and Bill runs 167 miles to complete the 407 mile north-to-south challenge).

3. Once your team has completed the 181 or 407 mile challenge, submit your results to get your finisher certificate and you'll have earned bragging rights to say you and your team accomplished the #GreatRunAcrossMinnesota.

Don't forget to print your finisher certificate once you submit your results! Results must be submitted by 9/30/2020.
