Tue October 3 - Sat November 11

FAQs

What is 42 in 40 Challenge?

The 42 in 40 Challenge is the third event in the Pat’s Run Challenge Series, following Pat’s Run and the Step Up for Scholars Challenge. The Pat’s Run Challenge Series supports our Tillman Scholars program. The 42 in 40 Challenge lasts 40 days, during which we challenge you to complete a total of 42 miles in that duration of time. 

What should I use to track my steps and report them? 

Reporting results is easy as 1, 2, 3 — especially if you follow these simple instructions.

When the 42 in 40 Challenge begins on October 3, track your miles using whatever method or app you prefer!  

  1. Go to this link 42 in 40 Challenge Results which provides quick access to logging your miles.
  2. Click the Submit Virtual Results button at the top of the page.
  3. You will search for your registration information, either by first and last name or email address and birthdate.
  4. Once you have found your registration, click the Log Activities button and enter your miles. 

Add your total miles into RunSignUp by Nov 18, 2022.

What kind of swag do I get for signing up? 

Every participant will get a custom 42 in 40 Challenge performance t-shirt and medal. Please note that the performance shirts run large, so you may want to size up or down, depending on how you like your shirts.  Please follow the link to see the size chart: Adult Size Chart 

How will I get my swag? 

Materials will be sent by mail. If you want to receive your items before the event begins on Oct. 3, you must register by Sept. 12. 

When will my stuff ship? 

We’ll begin shipping items in mid-September in the order that participants registered. Please check our website, 42in40.org, for updates about shipping. We do not recommend you rely on Facebook or our Pat’s Run Facebook group for the latest information. We also have incorporated tracking information into our process, so you’ll be notified when your race packet ships.

How will I know my race packet has shipped?

We will send you a shipping confirmation email with your unique tracking link when your package ships so you can follow it on its path to your mailing address. If you have multiple registrants that share the same mailing address, all of the items may be in one race packet. Please check with the other members of your household to see if they have received an email with your tracking number. 

Please do not leave requests for help on our social media or the Pat’s Run Facebook Group — while they are a great way to connect with other PTF supporters and learn news, they are not a useful channel for solving problems, so if you have a question or concern, reach out to us at patsrun@pattillmanfoundation.org

Is there a size chart for the race shirt t-shirt? 

For this event, we are not offering children’s shirts and the performance shirts run large. To get the most comfortable fit, please consult our Adult Size Chart. 

How come I got charged per registration for shipping and handling even though we are in the same household?

We fulfill our race materials through a small, locally owned business based in Tempe, Arizona. This cost per registration is to help pay for the costs of packing and shipping. Items may be consolidated into one package but it is not guaranteed.

How do I register multiple people and make one payment?

At the end of your registration you will have the option to “Add new entry.”  The waiver form for each participant is the responsibility of that participant and that of parent or guardian of any minor-aged participants.

I have another question — how can I get customer service or assistance? 

Reach out to us at patsrun@pattillmanfoundation.org and we’ll reply as soon as we can! Contacting us at patsrun@pattillmanfoundation.org is the best way to get help with issues. Please do not leave requests for help on our social media or the Pat’s Run Facebook Group, as we can’t always solve logistics issues from social media.
