Sun's Out, Fun's On. The =PR= Run Club ☀️ 2 mph Summer Solstice Challenge ☀️ 

Calling all long distance lovers and sunshine chasers! The =PR= Run Club is throwing a FREE community celebration to honor the longest day of the year: the Second Annual 2 mph Summer Solstice Challenge!

Here's the scoop:

Join us on Friday, June 20th, at =PR= Run & Walk - Midlothian as we embark on a 2-mile loop around the scenic Westchester Commons Shopping Centre, every hour on the hour. The first loop kicks off at 9:00 AM sharp, and the final one starts at 6:00 PM. That's your chance to conquer a total of 10 loops, racking up a solid 20 miles of summer awesomeness!

Let’s recap: 

• Run or Walk 2 miles • Every hour on the hour • 10x (times) • 20 miles total of sun and fun. 

Feeling like a sun-soaked superhero? Lace up and join us for the full epic journey! Want a more laid-back vibe? No sweat! Pick any loop that fits your schedule and jump in on the fun.

Bonus! Our very own =PR= General Manager along with a few more of the =PR= Team will be pounding the pavement for the full 20 miles. Come say hi, share some sunscreen wisdom, and maybe even challenge them to a sprint (just kidding… mostly).

This is a completely FREE event, but we'll be accepting donations for our incredible FREE =PR= Summer Youth Running Camp that ensures running remains accessible to our local youth! Every dollar raised will directly support our mission to get local kids moving and loving the sport of running.

NEW in 2025!  All registrants will receive a commemorative challenge goodie bag.  Each 10 loop finisher will receive a custom CHALLENGE COMPLETED AWARD!
