Big Milestone. Bigger Mission.
250 years of independence calls for a 250 mile challenge!
From now until September 11, we’re launching #MilesForTheMission to honor and support our nation’s service members. Whether you are a casual walker or a seasoned athlete, every single drop of sweat helps us smash our goal.
How you conquer your 250 miles is entirely up to you! You can stick to your favorite sport or mix and match your disciplines to cross the finish line:
Choose Your Move: How to Participate
-
Running: Lace up your sneakers for morning jogs, track workouts, or weekend trail runs. Push your limits and watch your progress soar over the weeks.
-
Walking: Grab your dog, meet up with friends, or take a peaceful evening stroll. Every step around the neighborhood or on the treadmill brings you closer to the milestone.
-
Biking: Hit the open road, crush local trails, or rack up miles on your stationary bike. Cycling is a fantastic way to eat up those miles quickly while enjoying the summer breeze.
-
Swimming: Dive into the pool, lake, or ocean. Keep track of your laps and convert that crisp water time into crucial miles for the mission.

Pro Tip: Break it down! Over the 9-week challenge, 250 miles is just about 27 miles a week—perfect for a mix of weekend bike rides and daily walks or runs.
