About
Relevant Running is always trying to help keep you motivated and inspired. It's been said that US Marines run 165+ miles during recruit training (aka boot camp). Join us throughout May and June 2025 for the Military Miles Challenge. A virtual challenge for runners and walkers of all ages anywhere at any time. Your goal, should you choose to accept it, is to walk and/or run 165 purposeful/training miles from May 1st until June 30th 2025. But, there is MUCH MORE than just a single medal! Read on for details!
Military Miles Challenge runners will receive: The custom designed Military Miles Challenge medal representing 6 major branches of the US Military (US Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Space Force). EVEN IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE 165 MILES, YOU WILL STILL GET YOUR MEDAL. Runners who surpass 165 miles during the 2 month challenge will receive EITHER 1 dog tag (with ball chain) of their choice for each additional 15 miles beyond 165 miles OR 1 lapel pin of their choice for each additional 15 miles beyond 165 miles OR 1 paracord survival bracelet of their choice for each additional 15 miles beyond 165 miles.
Tracking is accomplished by uploading to the Challenge page. You will be able to see your progress tracking bar as well as milestones achieved along the way. You will receive an email with your tracking link shortly after midnight the morning the challenge starts.
Challenge duration: You can start/join the Challenge any time after 12:01am Eastern time May 1st 2025. Complete your purposeful/training miles at your own pace throughout the 2 months. The Challenge ends at 11:59pm Eastern time June 30th 2025.
