FAQs
How does this Virtual Challenge work?
Each day you have the opportunity to go for a run/walk. All you have to do in this challenge is log your distance under your profile! We are not physically walking the courses - it is all virtual. You run/walk at your own location and then upload the miles under your profile. The maps/courses are there to simply give you a visual of where you would be if you were doing it in-person.
What happens if I didn't start on September 13?
No worries; we allow you to backlog your miles for the dates you weren't with us. For example, if you joined us on October 1st, simply login to your profile and log the miles for September 13th - September 30th. Just be sure to get registered/log your challenge miles before the challenge ends to get your medal(s).
When are the deadlines/important dates to remember?
Registration/Event Transfers ends October 31st at Midnight; the challenge ends December 21st at Midnight.
What swag will I receive by doing this challenge? When I will receive my swag?
All participants automatically receive a fleece blanket (just in time for winter) as well as a commemorative race shirt! In addition, those who complete their challenge will earn an awesome finisher medal!
When I will receive my swag?
All swag will be mailed out at the conclusion of the challenge. There is no option to pickup.
If I complete the challenge early, will I get my swag upon completion? Or, can I pick up my swag early?
No, again, all swag will be sent at the conclusion of the challenge date (sometime in mid/late December). Our goal is to have all swag to everyone by Christmas.
Can I walk the challenge?
Of course, walkers are definitely welcome to participate in this challenge! Use this as motivation to stay active!
Can I switch challenge distances after I registered (for example, if I am doing better than I thought I would)?
Of course, simply go to your RunSignUp account and do an event transfer. Deadline to switch events will be October 31st at midnight. There will be a $5 fee to transfer events.
Please note that if you do switch events your mileage will NOT transfer over to the new event. However, all you have to do is input your current mileage under one date and then proceed as normal (we are not going to make you input mileage again for every single day).
Are Biking Miles Allowed?
No, this is a Running and Walking. Bike miles are not allowed to be logged.
Are there any awards for this challenge?
There are no awards for this challenge (simply because there is no verification system).
If I participate on a team, are the challenge miles split up?
No, all members on a team are responsible in finishing their own mileage. It is not split up.
