Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Q: I'm already signed up for three or four other virtual events, can I count miles from those events here?
A: Yes, that’s not a issue with this adventure, Support everything you can, and Thank You in Advance for supporting this event and the U.S. suppliers who we’ll be getting swag from.
Q: If I registered before September 1st - can I count those miles towards my finish? What about if I signed up after the July 1 start?
A: Your mileage starts on the day you post your 1st run.
Q: I'm not sure I want to run - can I wait and enter at the last minute?
A: Registration is open till November 1st, 2020. You need to complete the 146v in 31 days from when you log your 1st run & complete the 292v in 62 days from when you log your 1st run.
Q: Do I have to provide evidence of my miles? What evidence is acceptable?
A: You're on the honor system here, this isn't a competitive event and there are no awards - it's a journey to help motivate you to push you. If you did cheat you’re just cheating you, so why cheat when it doesn't mean anything?
Q: How do I see my progress? How will I know when I'm done?
A: Each time you report your miles, your total mileage will be updated, and the Results page ( coming soon ) will display your run totals, and your progress.
Q: Is this a race? Will there be a prize for the winner?
A: No, this is NOT a race – Just a reason to get out and keep moving.. NO sorry, there will NOT be a prize for the first person to reach the end of the trail!
Q: What counts as mileage? Can I walk? Can I use a treadmill? Can I bike? An Elliptical Trainer or other training device? Can I count the steps I take during the day?
A: Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes but NO to all the steps you take each day! If you bike some of the miles the ratio is 3/1 three miles biking equals 1 mile running 3=1. The intent is to get extra miles above what you have to do to get around each day, to get you outside and moving!
Q: Do I have to run/walk miles every day?
A: Nope, you can run as much or as little as you want. For the 1,108.2 mile adventure you need to average 3.04 miles a day or 21.31+ miles a week. How you break it up and get your miles is up to you
Q: I see there is a charity involved - how much money will the charities get?
A: Yes, A portion of your registration ( $10.00) will be donated to one or two of the charities selected ( Still working on this ) along with whatever other donations are collected! We reserve the right to add or change Charities at any point!
Q: Is it required to make a donation to the charity.
A: NO! A donation above what is included in registration fee is Not required, But if you’re inclined to add in some extra money for the charities, I say "Thank You in Advance for your support!"
Q: Where does the registration fee cover?
A: The remaining money will pay for the swag - the shirt and medal and some additional cool stuff, you'll receive, plus shipping and handling to mail it to you. Your race entry will provide much-needed business to the businesses that support the racing industry, that have been idle for the past few weeks due to the pandemic. We buy local whenever possible and buy made in the USA if possible
Q: How do I log my miles? Is this going to be a pain for me to report in?
A: This should be a piece of cake! On the morning of July 1, you'll get an email from RunSignUp with a link to the reporting page, and instructions on how to post your miles. Each time you want to update your mileage, simply log into your RunSignUp account, choose this event, and add in your miles, to the tenth of the mile.
Q: Do I have to log in and enter my miles each day?
A: No! You can log in and add in your miles whenever it's most convenient for you. It's more fun to post your miles frequently so you can better see your progress, but if it's easier for you to post once or twice a week, that's fine.
Q: What if I do more than 1 run a day how do I enter both!
A: One of 2 ways. 1st is you can enter them separably, just create another activity for the 2nd run/walk and add it as a 2nd entry or you can add them both together and add them as 1 entry
Q: Do I have to finish to get the medal? Will the medal be cool or will it be a cheap piece of junk?
A: Yes, you must finish to get the medal! We're currently working on the finisher's medal - it will be something to be proud of!
Q: What does the shirt look like? When do I get my shirt?
A: The shirt and the other swag will be mailed out depending on when you register. Be sure to give us an address in registration that accepts US Postal mail. We’ll let you know when we mail you stuff, so you can be on the lookout for the goods! We're currently working on the shirt design and will publish it on this site once it's finalized.
