About this race

The Birmingham Track Club promotes fitness and a healthy running lifestyle for its members. Part of this involves consistency, and the BTC wants to reward its members for that consistency. So in 2008 the BTC established the 1200 Mile Club Challenge. Log 1200 miles during a calendar year to meet the Challenge.

How it Works

You keep a log of all the miles you run. At the beginning of each month, you receive an email with a link to an online form to submit your total miles for the previous month. The log is posted in the BTC Newsletter and continuously updated on this website so that you may track your progress. Complete at least 1200 miles by the end of the year and you've met the challenge; you've earned your place in the 1200 Mile Club and you qualify for special BTC rewards.

Qualification

Participation in the 1200 Mile Club Challenge is free but you must register and you must be a current member of the Birmingham Track Club.

Please Note

Registering for the 1200 Mile Club Challenge is your way of letting us know that you wish to participate and have your name added to the system used for reporting your miles. Your name will be added automatically to the reporting system shortly after you register. Regardless of when you register, you will have the opportunity to report miles for all 12 months of the calendar year.
