Event Description
This is a virtual progressive run...the total distance is 88K (just over 54 miles).
We're running (virtually) from Roosevelt Arch to Cooke, MT. The run is in the winter through Yellowstone National Park. NO...you won't be there, but you can be in spirit. It will be COLD & SNOWY, but you can do this run on the beach, on a treadmill, or anywhere else you want.
You can tackle it by doing 2.84 K a day, or, if you're so inclined, you can go run the entire 88 K on New Years Eve. The only thing we need is for you to do is let us know how far, and how long it took for each of your runs.
Post up your pictures to our facebook event pages, and to instagram and tag us...we'll do the same.
