A Virtual Challenge is a run/walk that we do  together, yet independently.  You can complete it at your own pace and anywhere you would like to run or walk.  Simply register for the event and you have until September 30 to complete the race.  Your swag will automatically be mailed to you at the end of the challenge.

When Can I Start?
You can start anytime after September 3. Once you register, you have until September 30 to complete the challenge. 

Where Should I Run or Walk?
You can run or walk anyplace you like. Please follow social distancing safe practices.

Can I Complete My Miles on a Treadmill or an elliptical machine?
Your distance on a treadmill can be counted, but not your distance on an elliptical machine. 

TRACKING YOUR MILES FOR THE CHALLENGE

Do I have to log my Miles?

Note:  It takes up to 24 hours for the system to update new participant registrations so you may not be able to start placing your results until the day after you register.

Do I need a GPS watch tracker or official app to measure and time my distance?
