About this race

Centurion Challenge - Free Virtual Challenge Event

Become a Centurion in 2026 by taking part in the Centurion Challenge!  Yes you can do it! and you can start anytime you want and have until the end of June to see how far your have gone. 

The Challenge is great way to train for a goal event or even just use it as a training log to keep track of your activities. Even after you finish your goal, you can still continue to log miles.

There are three events you can register for*;

  • 50 Mile Challenge
  • 100 Mile Challenge
  • 200 Mile Challenge

*If you register for the 50 mile you can continue onto the 100 mile and if you achieve that you can continue onto the 200 mile.  

The main goal behind the challenge is to help you be Active and Consistent.  Consistency is the key which will ensure you stay active.  When you are able to conquer the consistency obstacle you will achieve your goals.

Here is how it works

  1. Register for either the mini, full or double Century Challenge
  2. Within your runsignup.com account you'll be able to log your miles as you make progress.  Do it daily, weekly or as often as you want.

What activities are permissible to get me to my goal?  Great question.

You can; run, walk, bike or use an elliptical.  Remember the main goal is to be consistent and thereby consistently active.  We don't care how you do it, just get yourself going.

Event T-Shirt

Event t-shirts are available in the store.  You can buy one and we'll ship it out to you.  It's a great way to show off your accomplishment.
