Description

Races might be cancelled but running is not! Take advantage of this time to ramp up your training and get ready for when live races begin back! 

Due to popular demand, we are adding an Eastern Kentucky Running/Walking challenge for those who want to explore Kentucky (you can participate from anywhere as long as you live in the USA)! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to run/walk Eastern Kentucky virtually! Use this opportunity to log in some much needed miles. 

We have made these challenges so that anyone can complete them. The challenge starts June 1 and ends September 9 so you will have 100 days to get your mileage goal accomplished! We have made these challenges for both your walkers and your seasonal runners! 

Route #1 (Pikeville, KY to Ashland, KY) - 100 Miles
Route #2 (Ashland, KY to Lexington, KY) - 125 Miles
Route #3 (Lexington, KY to Pikeville, KY) - 150 Miles

And...if you feel like doing the super challenge - you can select to do all three routes for a total of 375 Miles and you will earn an additional medal! 

You will have the ability to log your miles, track your progress, and check the leader board daily! Invite your friends/family to this challenge to stay motivated/active all summer long! 

All registered participants will earn a commemorative light-weight shirt hoodie. Those that complete the challenge will earn an awesome challenge medal!
