Summer Sizzler Miles Challenge

Bring on summer running! ☀️👟

Heat? Humidity? No problem! We’re turning up the fun with the Summer Sizzler!

The Walton Youth Running Club’s Summer Sizzler Virtual Miles Challenge is your ticket to staying active, energized, and a little competitive all summer long. Whether you’re logging miles on vacation, around the neighborhood, or with your team, every step counts.

Set your own goal or go for the 100-mile Summer Sizzler challenge—and if you’re feeling extra motivated, keep going! There’s no limit to how many miles you can rack up over the three-month challenge.

While this is primarily a run-on-your-own challenge, we’ll create a GroupMe to help coordinate occasional group runs throughout the summer. Join in when you can—it’s a great way to stay connected and run together!

Make it social! Grab your friends, family, or teammates (near or far) and turn it into some friendly competition. Compare miles, cheer each other on, and maybe even spark a little rivalry along the way.

So lace up, get outside, and let’s make this a summer full of miles, smiles, and a little bit of sweat. Let the Sizzle begin! 🔥

Join fellow runners on May 17, 2026 for the Summer Sizzler Miles Challenge. It's a fantastic Ultra featuring a flat and fast course in Marietta.
