Big 26 Virtual Challenge

We couldn’t get on the field this year for our annual Pennsylvania vs. Maryland high school all-star baseball series and Buddy Program, but that doesn’t mean we can’t exercise our competitive spirits and "get together" for some activities. Sign up as an individual, or team up with a Big 26 buddy, friend or family members. Challenger athletes and families are encouraged to participate! An activity-to-miles conversion chart is in play so that athletes of all ages and abilities can participate at any time, any place, inside or outside. 

Prior involvement with the Big 26 Baseball Classic and Buddy Program is not required. 

• Challenge | 26 in 26 - You'll have 26 days to log 26 activity miles. Start/finish any time between August 6th and August 31st. Open to runners, walkers, wheelchair athletes, and those who choose to convert alternate activity minutes to miles. Complete the challenge at your own pace by 11:59 P.M. on Monday, August 31. Participants can register as an individual or form a team of up to 6 people to collectively meet (or smash!) the goal. 

• Challenge | 5K - Complete a 5K (3.1 miles) any time between August 6th and 31st. This option is available to anyone from seasoned runners looking to hit a personal goal to novice runners who might need more than one session to finish. Open to runners, walkers, wheelchair athletes, and those who choose to convert alternate activity minutes to miles. Complete the challenge at your own pace by 11:59 P.M. on Monday, August 31. 

There is no cost to join either challenge, but you can choose to purchase a t-shirt as a registration add-on.
