About this race

Get ready to walk, run, bike, swim, and roll through the 5th Annual Feds In Motion Challenge, starting May 1, 2026. You'll have 37 days to log 37 miles, in celebration of 40 years of Feds Helping Feds at FEEA!

We'll kick off on May 1, continue through Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) May 3-9, and then keep going through midnight EDT on June 6, 2026. Participants receive:

  • T-shirts* (with a choice of men’s or women’s styles!)
  • participation medals
  • digital bibs
  • easy ways to add your mileage anytime and a leaderboard
  • digital finisher certificates
  • fun digital badges for mileage milestones and fundraising achievements
  • special Wellness Wednesday events with prize drawings
  • other cool swag
  • prizes for top fundraisers

We'll be mailing many of these items to participants, so please be sure to use your shipping address when you register! Registration may remain open after the May 1 start, but April 9, 2026, is the last day to register with a guaranteed t-shirt.

Participate on your own, or grab friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to form a virtual team. Teams of 5 or more get $5 off the registration price. Please note: The first 4 people to sign up for a team will be charged the full current price. The 5th person (and anyone after that) will receive the discounted price. After the 5th person registers, the first 4 will receive a $5 refund to their original payment method!

All proceeds from the event support FEEA: The Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund’s disaster relief, emergency hardship loan, and scholarship programs. Learn more about how we've been helping feds in our latest Annual Report.
