About this race

Hi CTC Family,

As we kick off a new year, we’re excited to share a new opportunity just for CTC members, the CTC 1000 Miles Club Challenge! 

The goal is simple: run 1,000 miles over the course of the year. Whether you hit that number exactly, go beyond it, or use it as motivation to stay consistent, this challenge is about showing up and stacking miles.

This is not about pace or comparison. It’s about consistency, commitment, and building strong habits over time. Some weeks will be big, some will be lighter, and that’s okay. Every mile counts.

We’ll share periodic check-ins, encouragement, and shoutouts throughout the year to help keep everyone motivated.

As a bonus, all members who complete the challenge will receive a CTC “1000 Mile Club” shirt to celebrate the accomplishment.

Tracking is easy:
Use any fitness app you prefer and submit a screenshot of your total mileage at the end of the year.

Additionally, you may enter results at any time at https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/199713

  • Click on Submit Virtual Results.
  • If you’re not signed into your RunSignUp account, you can search by First/Last Name or by Email and Date of Birth.
  • Click on “Log Activities.” You can enter all miles completed to date in a single entry. If you return later to add more miles, simply log the additional distance—it will automatically be added to your previous total.
  • Click on “Submit Activity.” Your results should update within 1–3 minutes.

Deadline:
You must sign up by June 30, 2026, to be eligible for the shirt.

If you’re already a CTC member, you’re good to go. If you aren't yet a member, you will be asked in the checkout process if you want to purchase a membership to join the challenge.
