The Covering House 49,802-Mile Challenge, by F3 Gateway (STL)
Join F3 Gateway (St. Louis) for our 6th annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting The Covering House. This year, we're back to hit the lofty goal to perform 49,802 miles of activity as a group. As sex trafficking is a huge issue all around the world, we have decided to perform one (1) mile of activity for every mile it takes to travel around the entire Earth! 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 49,802 combined miles of running, walking, cycling, swimming, rucking, bear-crawling or whatever your favorite activity is!
