Run Like a Viking Virtual Challenge 5K/10K/Half Marathon

From September 1-30, let the Museum inspire you to keep moving and remain active, while having fun with your friends and family! Participants can choose between a 5K, 10K, or half-marathon challenge race. International participation is encouraged! Because this race is virtual, you can walk with your family, run with your friends, or pound the pavement solo anywhere in the world.  Starting August 1, log your miles as you run outside, walk on a treadmill, bike, kayak, skateboard—whatever way you move counts toward your mileage. Bonus points if you do it while dressed like a Viking! All entrants will receive a custom Run Like A Viking T-shirt (sizes ranging from s-xxxl, while supplies last), racing bib, two (2) general admission tickets (expire August 2026)! For more information about the National Nordic Museum please visit www.nordicmuseum.org.
