About the Event
Making the Miles is a physical and virtual motivation community where you work towards running or walking 1000 miles in a year. No matter where you are, keep yourself moving all year long to hit your mileage goals and earn some prizes along the way!
You will be admitted into the private Garmin group where you can see the leaderboard and compete with people around you, or just use it to motivate yourself to keep climbing!
Pick up some awesome running essentials along the way as you reach milestones, and if you sign up before March 31, you’ll receive a special prize just for signing up! Prizes are awarded at 250, 500, and 750 miles, and if you hit 1,000 miles, you’ll earn the super-massive-amazing Fleet Feet belt buckle!
Join fellow runners on January 1, 2026 for the Making the Miles 2026. It's a fantastic Ultra featuring a flat and fast course in Des Moines.
