Glam & Grit Trailhead
About this race
Walking, running, or any kind of movement each day can make a huge difference in your fitness, weight management, and overall health. That’s why we created the Glam & Grit Mileage Challenge to help you track your movement each month.
This isn’t about overdoing it. It’s about showing up consistently, finding creative ways to get a few miles in, and building habits that actually stick. Log your daily miles, running, walking, hiking, or treadmill and see your progress. Small effort adds up fast. Watch what your body can do when you keep it simple and steady.
As a bonus, we’ll send you a free code to join our Glam & Glitter community, which includes masterclasses on fitness, beauty, skincare, mental health, and the real-life topics that affect women.
