Description
Your only competition is you! Challenge Yourself!
Yearning to Escape? To break free from the confines of your home, neighborhood, city or maybe even your country? Us too… Introducing the Escape FROM Miami Challenge! Typically, this triathlon ferries athletes to an island off the coast of Miami where they must swim back to the mainland to complete their ride and run disciplines. But since we’re currently living in the upside-down world, someone please point us to the nearest exit! Find your “Escape” by any means necessary over the next 7 weeks with this virtual multisport challenge – swim, row, paddleboard, bike, run, walk or any combination of these modes of transit and log your distance.
How far can we make it together? To the place exactly opposite Miami on the earth’s surface? It’s only 19,000KM away!
We’ll re-share all the fun ways you guys are accomplishing the challenge on social and share our own versions of this challenge too!
