This CHALLENGE is for ANYONE who has the mettle to run, jog, hike, walk or bike the 486 mile distance of the breathtaking Colorado Trail – without actually traveling to the trail. This is a virtual challenge so that athletes from across the nation can join in during this 2020 season of quarantine and social distancing.
The Challenge kicks off on JUNE 1 for those who register by that date, but don’t worry if you miss our official start date, we’ll let you start ANY DAY up to July 1 when registration closes. You’ll have 90 days from the day you start (yeah, plus a little ‘wiggle room’) to log those miles and report your progress! Some began reporting their progress over Memorial Day weekend, and we’re happy that they’ve already begun before the ‘official’ start.
During the challenge (June-August or July-September) run, jog, walk or bike as many miles as you desire each day. Log your miles through our online tracker and it will compile your daily miles into a cumulative total and show your progress along our virtual Colorado Trail route! When you join a TEAM of up to 6, all of your miles are compiled to show total progress. If your buddy in Vermont hikes 10 miles today while you run 5 miles in Washington, your daily total is 15 miles of progress along the trail!
