About this race
Solstice 21 - PR Movement Challenge
21 Days. 21 Miles. 0 Excuses!
The Evolution of the Solstice:For the past two years, the PR Run Club 2mph Summer Solstice Challenge was our way of honoring the longest day of the year through relentless movement. It was gritty, it was tough, and it was the foundation of our club. But this year, we’re widening the path. We’ve evolved the challenge into the Solstice 21, because our mission is bigger than a single race; it’s about the movement of our entire community.
From June 1st to June 21st, we are virtually trekking from the river to the road—starting at the river entrance to Belle Isle and finishing at the front door of our shop in Midlothian.
The Mission: Funding the Future
This event is 100% FREE to join. We want the community moving together. However, we are moving with a purpose:
- The Finisher Shirt: You can purchase a limited-edition Solstice 21 technical shirt for $25 during registration.
- The Impact: 100% of shirt proceeds go directly toward funding the =PR= Youth Running Camp, keeping our July camp free for every kid in the community.
Choose Your Challenge
During registration, you’ll be asked to pick your path. Both help the kids, but your goal on the road is different.
Path 1: The 21-Day Movement Challenge
- The Goal: Consistency and Discipline.
- The Task: Log a minimum of 1 mile of movement every single day for 21 days straight.
- The Vibe: This is for those who value the streak. It doesn’t matter how fast you go, as long as you show up. Protect the streak from day one to the Solstice.
Path 2: The Solstice Chaser (Distance Challenge)
- The Goal: Total Volume.
- The Task: Log as many miles as you can over the 21-day period.
- The Vibe: This is for the seekers. There is no daily minimum—only the leaderboard. We want to see who in the crew can outwork the sun and log the highest total mileage by June 21st.
The Hardware: Milestone Buttons
The win is in the work, but we’re tracking the progress. Swing by the shop weekly to collect your physical badges of honor, designed and pressed in-house:
- Week 1: The "River Sunrise" Button
- Week 2: The "City Sole" Button
- Week 3: The "Solstice Sundown" Button
The Finale: Sunday, June 21st (Father’s Day)
The streak ends where the community gathers. Join us on Father’s Day at =PR= Run & Walk to celebrate 21 days of work.
- 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Shop hours for shirt and final button pickup.
- The Celebration: Step up to our "Finish Line" for an official finisher photo and to celebrate the longest day of the year!
*Distance Challenge Winners and prizes will be announced the week of July 22nd. Please note all results must be submitted by 11:59 PM on June 21st to be eligible.
