Description

New this year, join one of our two Virtual Challenge events!  Over the course of 30 days log as many miles as you can either by running, walking/hiking, cycling or swimming in our 30-Day Virtual Fitness Challenge. If you're not a competitive or long distance runner, walker, cyclist or swimmer, then the 30-Day Activity Challenge is for you.  Log the number of minutes and hours spent doing one of your favorite activities. Set a custom goal for yourself. Participants can log minutes or hours spent reading, gardening, painting, walking, doing yoga/tai chi/Pilates, cross fit/calisthenics/weight lifting, running and swimming. 

Once registered you will receive an email with instructions on how to log your activity each day during the challenge. (Please note: you will not be prompted at registration to choose an activity ahead of time, once the challenge has begun you will start logging activity and set or update your goal.)

Everyone registered can track their progress through our race website on RunSignup and view the leaderboard.  See where you are in relation to other participants, "compete" against friends and family members. 

Please note the following if you are entering the 30 Day Fitness Challenge:  When logging Swimming as your fitness activity in the Fitness Challenge, distance covered is measured in miles. For an easy way to convert laps to miles, keep in mind that:

  • 1,650 yards is 1 Swimming Mile
  • One "lap" is 50 yards; or up and back the length of a standard 25 yard pool.
  • A "length" is 25 yards; from one end of the pool to the other.
  • 33 Laps = 1 Mile
  • 66 Lengths = 1 Mile

If you do not wish to track miles/laps/yards then register for the 30-Day Activity Challenge instead!  You can still swim, run, walk/hike, bike your way through the challenge but only need to log the number of minutes or hours spent doing those activities (or any of the other activities such as reading, gardening, yoga/Pilates, cross fit, etc...). You do not need to sweat how to measure your distance covered, all you need is a wristwatch, clock, or phone to keep track of time spent.
