Forget-Me-Not Spring Challenge

Welcome to the 2027 Forget-Me-Not Spring Challenge hosted by Turnagain Training, founders of the Virtual Race Across Alaska Winter Challenge. 

CHALLENGE SPECIFICS: 
This is a Walk-Run-Bike-Swim-or whatever collects miles challenge! Our race distance totals are 75 miles, 150 miles, 300 miles, 500 miles, or 1000 miles. The goal is to log as many miles as you can over the 2 months of Spring to support a more physically active lifestyle.

If you start the challenge on April 15th:

75 miles = 1.2 miles/day
150 miles = 2.4 miles/day
300 miles = 4.8 miles/day
500 miles = 8.1 miles/day
1000 miles = 16.1 miles/day

You will have the ability to log your miles, track your progress, collect flower virtual badges, so how you rank up to others on the leader board daily! Invite other to this challenge to help you to stay motivated all Spring long! 

WHO: Anyone that is looking to stay active this Spring, by running, walking, biking, swimming or anything that allows you to collect as many miles as possible over the 2month challenge!

WHERE: Anywhere in the USA! You can run, walk, bike, swim or do anything that collects miles, indoors or outdoors! All you need is an odometer to determine your distance completed. This could be using an app like MapMyRun or Strava, or your Garmin or smart watch, or a bike computer for a few ideas on types of odometers. *If you are located outside of the USA and would like to join us, please email us to inquire about adding your country.

WHEN: The Challenge will start on April 15th and go through June 15th. 

WHAT: You'll run, walk or bike as much as possible from April 15-June 15th and log your miles at minimum 1x per week via our Runsignup virtual challenge results page. 

SWAG: All challenge participants will get a race t-shirt, socks, Forget-Me-Not seeds, Alaskan floral virtual badges along the way, a virtual race bib & a virtual finisher certificate plus a finisher medal with your distance on the back.
