Event Description
Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with the America 250 Birthday Challenge!
Get ready to honor 250 years of freedom, history, and the American spirit! The 'America's 250th Birthday Challenge' Virtual Run, Walk & Roll Challenge invites participants of all ages and abilities to join this once‑in‑a‑lifetime celebration of our nation’s founding.
As the United States turns 250 years old, we’re calling on families and friends from coast to coast to come together in a fun and meaningful way: complete 250 miles in 2026—your way, at your pace! Whether you run, walk, roll, or gallop every mile you log pays tribute to centuries of perseverance, innovation, and freedom that define who we are. Complete 250 miles individually or create a team and complete with your friends, family, club or co-workers!
This is more than a challenge—it’s a national celebration. Join fellow Americans as we collectively mark this historic milestone, showing the strength of our nation one mile at a time. When you reach the 250‑mile mark, you’ll earn your commemorative, Made in America Finisher’s Medal—a symbol of dedication, unity, and the enduring American dream. You'll also receive a customized digital bid, finisher certificate and a high quality UV sticker to display your participation.
100% of donations received will go to Restore America's Estuaries (RAE) who are a Supporting Partner to the America 250 initiative!
Make Every Step Count for Our Coasts
When you support Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE), you’re helping protect the places where land meets sea — the coasts, bays, and estuaries that sustain life, livelihoods, and the natural beauty we all cherish. RAE unites local organizations across the nation to restore these critical ecosystems, strengthening coastal communities against storms, rising seas, and habitat loss.
Your donation fuels hands-on restoration projects, groundbreaking science, and policies that ensure our coastal waters thrive for generations to come. Together, we can turn every mile you run into a mile that makes a lasting difference for our planet.
Run. Restore. Repeat. Join RAE in restoring the heart of our coasts.
So lace up, roll out, and raise your flags high. Together, let’s celebrate our founding, our freedom, and our future. Let’s make 2026 a year remembered for unity, purpose, and movement.
Sign up, log your miles, join the party—because freedom runs through all of us.
