Challenge FAQ
HOW DO I LOG MY RUNS AND WALKS?
You track minutes for running and walking using the RaceDay interface by RaceMenu.
DID I WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE?
When it comes to raffle prizes, people usually have two questions. How do I win a prize? How do I know if I won? Our winner selection methods include random drawings from participants, selecting people who have posted a picture on social media, and other random reasons we have for giving a prize (ex. we'll award a prize for best team name at some point!)
WHEN WILL I GET MY REFERRAL PROMOTION PRIZES?
The last day for registration is January 5. You still have time to invite friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers to join the Challenge and earn free stuff. Once registration is closed, we'll process the referral prizes in the week after registration closes. As a reminder, the referral process works like this:
CAN I STILL ORDER A HOODIE, SHIRT, MEDAL, OR MAKE A DONATION TO EASTSIDE BABY?
If you did not purchase those items at registration or want to purchase additional items, navigate to the registration page and select "I forgot to order a Medal, Shirts, Shipping, Donations & Fundraisers."
100% of the profits of those sales go directly to support KidVantage's critical work.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY HOODIE, SHIRT, MEDAL?
We wait until the end of the contest to print shirts because we won't know the final list of Winter Warriors to print on the shirt until we complete the contest. Therefore, expect shirts to be ready during the second or third week of February for Chilly Yeti and the first week of April for the Lucky Steak. Remember that to qualify to have your name printed on the shirt, you need to run or walk a least one mile per day OUTSIDE every day in during the challenge - January 1-31 for Chilly Yeti and February 1-March 17 for Lucky Streak.

A WORD ABOUT SAFETY
We hope this challenge inspires you to run or walk more than you usually do in January, go outside for your exercise on days you normally stay inside, or workout at times of the day you typically avoid. We also enjoy watching the competitive part of the challenge and watching all the miles pile up. However, please don't use the Challenge as an excuse to make unsafe choices. If there is a choice between safety and keeping your streak alive, please choose safety. We want all our Warriors to stay happy and healthy in 2025!
