About this race

BRING ON WINTER; WE'RE READY FOR IT!

Our Frosty Feet Winter Mileage Challenge is all about staying motivated and active to kick off 2027 on a healthy note.

Run, walk, hike, tread or swim 26.2, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, or 300 miles between December 11, 2026 and February 7, 2027.  You've got 58 days to get your miles whether you log 1, 2, or 3 miles/day or do it in larger segments.  The challenge officially runs from Friday, December 11th through Sunday, February 7th however you can start after 12/11/25 if you wish.  It's all about providing you some motivation to keep moving this winter.

You don't have to run/walk/hike/swim/bike/tread your mileage every day of the challenge, but if it helps you stay consistent, then go for it.  Accumulate the miles any way you see fit.
