How It Works

The Annual 500 Mile Challenge
STEP 1. Register as an individual or as a team.
STEP 2. Run, paddle, cycle, hike, walk (anything you can measure) and log your miles on this website. Do this daily or in bulk, weekly or monthly...whatever works for you.

STEP 3. Complete 500 miles by October 31.

STEP 4. Optional, apply for a grant.


Just so you know...500 miles, or 805 km, is about 7,500 steps per day for five months.
