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!
Can I do this challenge if I am in another challenge (hence, can I use my daily miles for more than one challenge)?
You betcha; earn as much swag as you can and use as many challenges as needed for motivation!
What happens if I didn't start on November 24th?
No worries; we allow you to backlog your miles for the dates you weren't with us. For example, if you joined us on December 1st , simply login to your profile and log the miles for November 24th-November 30th. Just be sure to get registered/log your challenge miles before the challenge ends!
When are the deadlines/important dates to remember?
Registration/Event Transfers/Swag Orders end on December 31st at Midnight. The challenge ends on March 3rd at Midnight.
What swag will I receive by doing this challenge? When I will receive my swag?
This is up to you as swag is optional. We will be selling shirts, medals, etc. as an optional add-on. If you purchase swag, it will be shipped out near the end of the challenge.
When I will receive my swag?
There will be no options to pickup. All purchased swag will be shipped out near the end of the challenge. Our goal is to have all swag shipped the last week of February so you have it by the last day of the challenge
If I complete the challenge early, will I get my swag upon completion? Or, can I pick up my swag early?
No, again, all purchased swag will be sent at the conclusion of the challenge date (sometime in late February/early March).
Can I walk the challenge?
Of course, walkers are definitely welcome to participate in this challenge! Use this as motivation to stay active!
If I complete the 163 Mile Challenge and want to switch to a harder challenge can I? (And Vice Versa)
Of course, simply go to your RunSignUp account and do an event transfer. Deadline to switch events will be December 31st at midnight.
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.
Do Treadmill Miles Count?
Yes, all running and walking miles count - even ones done on a treadmill!
Are there any awards for this challenge?
There are no awards for this challenge (simply because there is no verification system).
If I join a team, are the miles split between team members?
No, all individuals are responsible for their own mileage. If you want your swag you must complete your own challenge.
