Pacific Theater Challenge

The Pacific Theater Challenge honors those who fought to defeat a determined enemy. From 1941-1945, American service members crossed the vast Pacific Ocean in a feat that seemed impossible. Island after island, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines distinguished themselves against a backdrop of unfamiliar terrain, diverse local populations, and a tenacious enemy. PARTICIPANTS HAVE UNTIL 2/15/25 TO COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE. You can walk, jog, run, bike or use a treadmill to complete the challenge!
