Just for fun. Share your pictures, stories, & videos of your rides, runs, walks, & swims in our Facebook group. Let us see where you are running and walking, what kind of bike you ride, maybe screen shots of your route, distance, elevation, or paces. Talk about how you plan to complete your miles. Make your own finish line picture. Selfies welcomed here.

This is not a race, but if you are competitive and want to make it a race, we will acknowledge those who complete all of the miles in the shortest time from the time you start.
We will also acknowledge participants in the hike/walk/run who log the most miles by July 31, 2020. Have fun with it.
