What is this Challenge about?
This virtual “Challenge” is where participants run, walk or roll over 60 days to reach a goal and/or compete with others over a period of time. Our Challenge invites walkers, runners and rollers (those in wheelchairs or other mobility devices) to challenge themselves! We welcome solo participants and teams/groups of participants! Tell your co-workers, friends and family. Once you have five people on your team, you receive free entry! And now, we’re all in better health, together!
Who is this Challenge for? Do I have to run all of my miles or walk all of my miles?
Whether you walk, run or roll, all can be included in your daily totals! While the use of bicycles is prohibited for the challenge, we welcome any persons in wheelchairs or other mobility devices to participate in this challenge.
Do the miles have to be run each day, or can for example if I choose the 2 mile challenge can I run walk run 4 miles in a day and skip a day?
Great question! Yes, you can complete your Challenge by doing the miles on any day. You don't have to walk or run or roll every day.
How do I submit my miles?
All miles need to be submitted manually. Track your miles with any fitness device or app that you use, and follow the easy instructions. You can enter them every day, or at the end of the 60 days, which would be November 1, 2020. It may be easier on you to enter them as you go! Note that entering your miles is optional, however you will be missing out on being on the Leaderboard, and if you are a part of a team, you’ll want to be sure your miles are included with their totals. Note that once a participant enters data, it takes about a minute to appear in the total results page.
