The Stay Frosty Winter Rewild Challenge (Jan 1–Mar 31, 2026) is a women’s outdoor challenge focused on spending intentional time outside, reconnecting with nature, and building community.

Participants earn 1 point for every minute outside.

• +10 bonus points if the activity is with a friend or friends.
• +10 bonus points if the activity includes snow, ice, or cold water.
• +20 bonus points if you combine BOTH doing an activity with friends AND ice, snow, or cold water

*Bonus points are +10/20 per each  activity session NOT per each min.

You can use RunSignUp to share and track digitally OR you can download a PDF to do it by hand, no screens required.

You’ll get an email with the direct join link. 

Nope! Any outdoor activity counts—as long as you’re outside and moving. Examples: walking, hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, running, fat biking, outdoor yoga, sledding, neighborhood strolls, and backyard playtime. BUT activities that include cold, ice, and snow get you more points! Stay frosty, right?

Not at all! Anyone can join from anywhere. You’ll still earn points for all outdoor time, and you may creatively earn “cold bonus points” if you seek out chilly adventures where you live.

This is a community challenge, not a competition. There are no winners or prizes based on performance. The goal is connection, consistency, and courage. If someone else is spending more time outside and you'd like to do the same, see it as inspiration!

Every participant receives:

• RunSignUp Registration so you can use the web app to log your points and track your goals.
• A printable PDF so you can log time by hand, no screens needed!
• Access to a private FB group for this challenge only where you can share and connect with other women in the challenge!

• Option to add on (purchase) Stay Frosty 2026 embroidered collector’s patch (peel-and-stick backing, stitch optional)

• Option to add on (purchase) cozy heavy-weight Stay Frosty 2026 challenge hoodie.
  Both items ship at the beginning of February.

No — this challenge is based on time, not distance. Whether you stroll or shred, your minutes outside matter equally.

Nope — only time spent outdoors counts for this challenge.

No. It’s fun to share updates, pictures, and kudos in the private FB group, but not required. You can participate quietly or share your adventures — whatever feels best.

Kids can join the outdoor activities, but registrations, logging, and waivers must be completed by an adult. Kids do not need to be registered to tag along.

Nature Girl Rewild is a women-centered community, but anyone who aligns with our mission is welcome to register and participate.

Social media is optional! You will have the option of joining a private Facebook group that only allows people who are participating in this challenge. If you join this group you will be able to share pictures and updates and see activities by other women, but it's not required.

Not necessarily. Winter comfort is all about layers, but you don’t need expensive gear. 

Registration for the challenge will close on January 5th — if you join after January 1st you can backlog your actitivies!

Please listen to your body. You can pause participation at any time. Registration fees are nonrefundable.

No. Just like most virtual challenges and races, all entry fees are nonrefundable and nontransferable, and the event may be modified or canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. In this case you're lucky because registration for this challenge is FREE! However sales on challenge collector's items are final since we do a preorder.

Participants take full responsibility for their own safety. By registering, you agree that Nature Girl Rewild, its volunteers, and other participants are not liable for injuries incurred during your personal outdoor activities.

Via email! You'll receive:

• A welcome email after registering

• An invite to our FB Group

• A downloadable PDF with 4 copies of weekly activity logs (print again for Feb. and March)

• Occasional encouragement and reminders
