Run the Year Challenge
Run/Walk 2,024 Miles in 2024
- If there were such a word as “bestest,” this would be THE BESTEST fitness challenge ever invented!
- Try it solo AND/OR with a team of up to 100! Split miles any way you want between team members.
- Follow your friends’ progress in the online Run The Year Tracker!
- Increase your level of awesome by a factor of 10. This challenge can actually do that.
Hero's Journey Challenge
Coming Back in 2025
- Even if you haven't heard of 'The Hero's Journey', it's a story you've been exposed to more than you realize. It is the perfect framework for epic adventures, books, and movies. A well-known example is Star Wars (Luke is the only hope!).
- There are twelve phases of The Hero’s Journey as the hero transitions from their own ordinary world into the unknown to complete a quest or mission to ultimately come back home.
- In our Hero's Journey Challenge you have one month to complete 12 different distances or quests. (read more in our FAQ!)
- The distances range from 2 to 9 miles, and you can complete them by walking, running, biking, swimming, or any other form of exercise you choose.
- There is a suggested order to complete the quests to follow the trajectory of The Hero's Journey, but ultimately, you can complete your journey on your terms!
