Spring Melt Challenge
February 1 to March 17, 2021
Keep the good times going this spring and prepare for your summer with the Spring Melt Challenge. Run or walk at least one-mile per day, indoors or outdoors, from February 1st to St. Paddy's Day, March 17. Complete at least one-mile each day outside and qualify as a Winter Warrior. This contest will help raise money for Eastside Baby Corner who provides crucial support to children in King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties. Get started on your spring training by also signing up for our New Year Challenge and run or walk everyday in January 2021.
How it works. You track minutes for running and walking using the RaceDay interface by RaceMenu.
Choose your challenge. You can challenge yourself to any level and can change your mind at any time (you won’t be asked to commit to a level upon registration). The Spring Melt Challenge has a three-strikes and your out rule. Miss more than two days and you're out!
Be a Winter Warrior. You may do mileage indoors or outdoors and remain in the contest, BUT you are only a Winter Warrior if you do at least one mile a day outside. Only Winter Warriors get their name on the back of the shirt and hoodie.
