Challenge questions
Run The Edge’s virtual fitness challenges make getting into shape fun, motivating, and convenient. You can participate in our virtual fitness challenges anywhere, at any time, and with anyone. To complete the challenge, you can walk, run, hike, crawl, treadmill, etc.
It’s easy! Each challenge requires you to register – after that, you are given access to your mileage tracker, the private Facebook community, and all email updates from us. Any additional gear will be shipped after registration is complete.

It varies by challenge. The Run The YearⓇ Challenge is a year-long challenge, but the Amerithon Challenge has no time limit.
Remember – life happens, injuries happen, distractions happen. We encourage you to be proud of every mile you log in our challenges. Be proud of the steps you’re taking to better yourself. Every mile you log with us is an additional deposit in your bank of fitness.
Please note that both the Run The YearⓇ and Amerithon Challenge allow you to complete the challenge as a team. Consider joining a team or grabbing a partner to tackle those last miles!
1. We do not charge you ticketing or processing fees.
2. We exchange shirts for free. No need to pay us extra for re-stocking or shipping. We just want you to have the right size.
3. If your package is lost or damaged in the mail, we send you a new one at no extra charge.
4. Our challenges last all year long and we support them all year long. You can always email us and get a timely reply.
5. We are a small team of 5 but this is our passion! We love what we do and it shows!
Our virtual challenges require you to perform physical activity on your own time. We ask you to log as many miles as you can by walking, running, wogging, or whatever works best for you. Our Amerithon Challenge also allows biking and swimming. The catch? Challenge yourself. Push yourself, your health and your fitness levels, and work toward a better you.
Our participants come from all walks of life – age, size, shape, and ability varies. Our challenges can also be completed on a team – divide miles and complete the challenge with friends, family, coworkers, even strangers!
Each of our challenges has its own unique mileage tracker designed to keep the challenge fun and motivating, and to keep you on track. You can enter your miles manually or import your FitBit, Garmin, Apple Watch, or Strava miles with our auto sync features.
All challenge items are sold individually in our store, or available at the time of registration in “bundle” options. Registration alone does not include challenge gear – it must be added unless you ordered a bundle.
Every registration comes with the mileage tracker and access to the private Facebook group for the challenge!
Run The Edge is our company name! Running The Edge is our best selling book. As a company, we put on the Run The Year and Amerithon Challenges. If you’re still confused, please see more on our Fitness Challenges page!
Returns + Shipping questions
YES! Shipping outside of the United States takes a little longer and will cost more than domestic shipping, but we are happy to send your swag anywhere in the world!
