New Year Challenge
January 1 - January 31
What is the New Year Challenge?
Participants register for the New Year Challenge with Challenge Northwest and walk or run at least one mile a day from Jan. 1st to Jan. 31st. Your mileage earns you a medal status, or the envied Winter Warrior title. KidVantage receives a portion of the registration fees and 100% of the retail purchases (shirts, sweatshirts, etc.), thanks Challenge Northwest!
How does the challenge work?
Mileage is recorded by the participants and tracked in a mobile friendly website: raceday.racemenu.com. You must login and record your daily miles within 4 days to stay in the challenge (ie: if you run on the 1st you have until the 5th at 11:59PM to log that day’s miles). ONLY miles ran/walked outside count towards the Winter Warrior Status. See more information about logging miles here.
Leaderboard & Medal Status:
Your cumulative miles, indoor + outdoor, determine Gold Status (5 mils/day), Silver Status (3 miles/day), or Bronze Status (1 mile/day). You can walk/run more than once per day. To earn Winter Warrior Status, you MUST walk/run at least one mile OUTSIDE per day.
Join the challenge as a team:
All team miles, indoor + outdoor, count in the team competition. Participants can add their team’s miles regardless of individual challenge status. Teams are coordinated by a Team Captain, and there will be prizes for the most fun, most goofy, and most inspiring social media posts about the challenge!
Prizes you can win:
Winners for raffle prizes are selected from register participants, people posting on social media, and other random reasons Challenge Northwest is giving prizes. To see if you won a prize, follow Challenge Northwest on Facebook or Instagram, or by visiting the Raffle Results page.
