Participating in our virtual races is a great way to stay on track of your fitness goals and keep physically active. They are flexible and are done at your own pace. And, our virtual races are open to everyone – you don’t have to be a 365 Mile Challenge member to participate!

What is a virtual race?

A virtual race is a race that you do at any location you choose usually during a specified time period. It can be around your neighborhood, on a trail, in your home, or anywhere else you choose. Participants receive a stunning medal mailed right to you!

How are virtual races from 365 Mile Challenge unique?

Our races are unique because you get to choose your activity along with the location. You can walk, run, bike, paddle, swim, use a treadmill, or any combination of these activities. Any activity that gets your legs moving and your heart pumping counts!

Our virtual races are also done at your own pace. You don’t need to complete the whole distance at once.

How does a virtual race work?

First, sign up for the virtual race on our website. Your medal will be mailed to you before the virtual race begins (if you signed up early). Then, choose your location and activity. You will have access to all features on the 365 Mile Challenge App for the duration of the race to track your progress. Feel free to share your progress in our app’s Community section for encouragement and kudos! Complete the distance required with your chosen activity anytime during the specified time period. At the end of the race, your finisher’s certificate will be available for you right on the app!

How do your virtual races support the National Park Foundation?

We are proud to support the work of the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks! We love our national parks and encourage everyone to enjoy the beauty and recreation they offer.

We have donated $665.85 so far to the National Park Foundation!
