B*REAL Winter Warrior Challenge

This challenge is about putting in effort and staying consistent.
You will earn digital badges at each milestone and get access to the PRIVATE Facebook Group that opens on December 15. 

Your race packet will include swag that you can take with you as a reminder of your commitment to yourself.

This inspirational bracelet can also be used as a hair tie or attached to your shoe lace.
Choose the word that will inspire you when you sign up.

If you need more swag - because who doesn't? -  you have 2 options:

Add a visor, run cap or Winter Warrior tie-dye tee when you sign up and I will mail it to you!

OR 

Visit the REAL Swag Shop to browse and pick your own. 

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY WORKOUTS?
Here are the detailed instructions on how you'll submit your results through 3/31/2025. You may submit every day or tally up hours on your tracking sheet and submit a bunch of hours at once. For your first time logging your hours, I recommend using a laptop or computer, some have had iPad's and phones with glitches the first time when entering their results.  All results will be combined under the B*REAL Winter Warrior Challenge even If you signed up with the Saturday Sweat Season Pass. 

Below are the steps you'll need to take. 

STEP 1: Go to www.Runsignup.com and click on your image in the top right corner

STEP 2: Go down to the B*REAL Winter Warrior Challenge upcoming event and click on "Submit Virtual Results"

STEP 3: Fill in the fields to submit your results manually! 

Note: You can go to "Add Another Activity" before submitting results to add more than 1 workout.

Excited to see everyone achieve their goals over the next months!

Sincerely,
Adina O'Neill
Race Director

Q: Can I just walk the challenge?
A: Absolutely, walkers are definitely welcome to participate in this challenge and a large part of our event are walkers and hikers! This is a multi-sport challenge, so you can walk, run, ski, bike, swim, lift, dance or stretch to get your hours. Use the challenge as motivation to stay active! 

Q: Can I count my daily steps?
A: No, we encourage you to log only exercise specific times. This means you planned to walk, run, etc. and not just time you went from the bathroom to the kitchen!
