What Our Participants Are Saying
Over the years, since 2015, I have become friends, in person and online, with some amazing people including the team at Run the Edge who have welcomed my wife and me to their offices multiple times…Thank you, Run The Edge, for creating these challenges!!!
Jason Tregler, 8-year participant
My 33 years of running have been accentuated by the Team at “Run The Edge”! The challenges that they have designed since 2015, have given me added motivation…I have had my share of getting into a rut. When this happens, I am spurred on by one of my many Run The Edge Challenges!
Marilyn Simmons Bowe, 8-year participant
...I've run one mile minimum daily since then and I owe it all to RTY!!!!! I love my RTY family and I'm excited that I've inspired my niece to give it a go. Also, I'm obese and I appreciate the all encompassing inclusion of our group, I run slow as heck - but I run, nonetheless.
Tracy Valdez, 7-year participant
This, this post right here, and the others like this, the encouragement, motivation and constant positivity is why Run the Edge is my #1 running/walking/movement inspiring company that I follow, participate with and wrap myself up, proudly, in your swag. To the entire RTE team, thank you. Thank you!!
Deena Cota, 3-year participant
The community y’all have created is so much more than a run challenge. We are so thankful for y'all, and for the friendships created because of you. For posterity - Thank You for your quick replies and all your help! And if no-one’s told you lately, You Rock!!!

Tell me about the tracker!
Every participant gets access to the tracker (see video) for both individual AND team miles! Updated for 2023, you can create teams of up to 1 and set HUGE goals of up to 10X the year (set your team goal in the tracker to be anywhere from 2023 - 20,230 miles!). You can track your own progress AND be on a team at the same time!
Also new: cover the miles your way with settings that allow you to choose what activities count to get in the miles (bike the year, swim the year, just MOVE!). PLUS, we are launching a NEW custom private community app (we think you'll love it!).
The tracker allows you to manually enter miles or sync with Garmin, Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Strava. You also get access to our optional private Facebook community.

Tell me about teams!
Teams are a great way to take the challenge with up to 100 people!
Divide the miles any way you like and conquer the challenge together. (YES, teams of up to 100 people!)
Each team member must register individually. You do not need to specify that you are on a team when you register.
The hardest part is coming up with an awesome team name!
Here is a video that shows you how teams works: See Teams Video
You can take the challenge individually AND be on a team at the same time. The tracker will keep track of your team and individual miles.
