The LIGHTHOUSE FOR LIFE Circumference of the Earth Mile Challenge, by F3 MIDLANDS
Join F3 Midlands for our 1st annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting Lighthouse for Life. This year, we will attempt to log more than 24,901 miles (the circumference of the earth) of activity as a group. As sex trafficking is a huge issue all around the world, we have decided to step up and push back the darkness! All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week, using a GPS tracking app/device (Apple Watch, Samsung Watch, Strava, MapMyRun, etc). Together, we will log more than 24,901 combined miles of running, walking, cycling, swimming, rucking, bear-crawling or whatever your favorite activity is!
