WELCOME TO OUR 2022 FLORIDA VIRTUAL CHALLENGE...

CREATED TO MOTIVATE ATHLETES TO ACHIEVE THEIR FITNESS GOALS.

WE CHALLENGE ATHLETES TO SET THEIR YEARLY GOAL AND COMPLETE THEIR CHOICE OF MULTIPLE DISTANCES (100 MILES / 500K / 1000K) OR DO THEM ALL TO COMPLETE 1,032 MILES IN 2022, WHILE EARNING ALL 3 FINISHER MEDALS.

THIS IS YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM - YOU SET YOUR GOAL, YOU COMPLETE YOUR ROUTES, ON YOUR SCHEDULE, AND ON YOUR PACE.

WHETHER YOUR GOAL IS TO RUN 100 MILES IN ONE MONTH, OR CYCLE 100 MILES IN ONE DAY, AS A SELF-DIRECTED VIRTUAL CHALLENGE, IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO EACH ATHLETE TO EARN YOUR FINISHER MEDAL AND WEAR IT WITH PRIDE.

WE PROVIDE EXTRA MOTIVATION WITH ON-LINE LOGS TO CHART YOUR PROGRESS AS YOUR MILEAGE ADDS UP, WITH INTERACTIVE COURSE MAPS (INCLUDING STREET VIEWS) TO SHOW YOUR PROGRESS AS YOU "VIRTUALLY" RUN DOWN FLORIDA'S EAST COAST TO KEY WEST THROUGH UNIQUE BEACH TOWNS KNOWN FOR THEIR HISTORY, THEIR UNIQUENESS, AND THEIR APPEAL TO VISITORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

FOR ADDITIONAL INSPIRATION, READ THE CREATIVE TRAVELOG WRITTEN VIRTUALLY FROM MISSOURI BY MARATHON RUNNER, JOHN PITZEL, IN 2020 DURING OUR INAUGURAL FLORIDA VIRTUAL CHALLENGE.

FINALLY, JOIN OUR UNIQUE, SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED ATHLETES AT OUR FACEBOOK GROUP PAGE [https://www.facebook.com/groups/966611210461976], WHERE YOU CAN REPORT YOUR RESULTS, SHARE PHOTOS, AND CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS.

AND OF COURSE, ONCE YOU COMPLETE YOUR DISTANCE, WE SEND YOUR HUGE (4"X6"), GORGEOUS FINISHER MEDAL.

CHALLENGE OVERCOME! CONGRATULATIONS!

***************************************************

NEW FOR 2022: WE HAVE RE-FORMATTED THIS CHALLENGE TO ELIMINATE THE DEADLINES, AS WE KNOW FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE HOW INJURIES, ILLNESSES AND OTHER OBSTACLES SOMETIMES CAN'T BE OVERCOME, ESPECIALLY WITH A LONG DISTANCE CHALLENGE. OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO KEEP ATHLETES MOTIVATED, INSPIRED AND MOVING OVER LONG DISTANCES OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME. WE FACILITATE YOUR EFFORTS TO ENJOY HEALTHY, ACTIVE LIFESTYLES.

WE REWARD YOUR CONSISTENCY WITH AN OFFICIAL, COMMEMORATIVE SHIRT SENT SHORTLY AFTER YOU REGISTER TO HELP INSPIRE YOU, A GORGEOUS FINISHER MEDAL WHEN YOU FINISH TO REWARD YOU, AND MILES OF ENJOYMENT IN BETWEEN. PORTS OF CALL INCLUDE ST. AUGUSTINE, DAYTONA BEACH, CAPE CANAVERAL, FT. LAUDERDALE, MIAMI BEACH, AND OF COURSE, THE ALLURING FLORIDA KEYS.
