Holiday Hustle Mileage Challenge 2025

Hello Runners and walkers. It’s the best time of year, FALL!!! The parks are cooling down, and the sun sets are so beautiful!! Right now, as we slowly move through the holiday season and await our next training cycle in January, we need to continue to stay active and healthy! 

This year we are continuing with our winter mileage challenge to keep us moving through the holidays. We are offering a challenge that will allow you to get your miles in a time that works for you, while we will offer a twice-a-week group runs, along with suggested routes and workouts for the holidays. 

How the challenge will work: 

You set the pace. The goal is to stay active and moving through the holiday season. To make this happen we are going to have a mileage challenge to help us stay accountable! 100 Miles from Turkey Day to the Ball Drop, let's go!

You can run, walk, skip or crawl to get to your 100 miles. These miles are active miles outside of your everyday routine. 

What counts: 

Walking the dog, going for a run, coffee walk with friends, skipping down the street or parking way down the street to walk to school or work.

You track your miles on whatever device you have. Can be your phone via various applications or a smart watch, then log the miles on the result page. That easy! You can also join the Strava Mileage Challenge to log your miles! 

To hit your 100 miles, you will need to do an average of 3 miles per day, totally doable! Some of you might hit this early, awesome! Some might be running circles on New Years Eve trying to finish it up! How you get it done is up to you. 

Group meet up!

We will meet twice a week to keep the accountability and community strong

Join us on Tuesdays at 6:00pm at Wildwood Park and Saturdays at 7:30am at Horseshoe Lake Parking Lot for some fun group runs!
