Organiser's Description
THE CHALLENGE
Well folks, we made it to double digits. Yes, this is our TENTH edition of GRIT, a twice-a-year challenge that has only grown bigger and better.
Can we just say that we promise this will be the best one yet? Allow us to tell you the ways.
Join us on an Arctic Adventure as we set our distance goals for the month of January and go searching for the wildest creatures of the far north. Itll be cold, of course, so bundle up in your favorite parka and dont stop running to keep the blood flowing. Along the way, youll challenge yourself to go above and beyond what youve ever done before. Remember: ice is nice and cold is gold. Embrace it all.
As you complete each mileage goal, collect an arctic animal badge to celebrate your achievements. Whether that goal is 25 miles or 300 miles, youre an intrepid explorer and an integral part of this adventure.
Did we mention the community? Our favorite thing is how much the GRIT community has grown over the years and how much we support each other throughout the coldest and hottest months of the year. You can be a part of that, and it may even change your life.
Were known for our event swag and this round of giveaways may be the best one yet. By signing up for this expedition, well outfit you with a custom-branded ASICS crewneck sweatshirt, cozy Believe beanie, Winter GRIT sticker, and more. Plus, youll be entered to win incredible weekly shoe giveaways and grand prizes from our sponsors at ASICS and Running Warehouse (seriously, theyre incredible).
As with every GRIT, well honor the most fearless explorers who go above and beyond the call of adventure: two grand prizes (male and female) to the top elevation gainers for the month, and two grand prizes (male and female) to those with the most mileage for the month.
Meet us on the tundra and dont forget your gloves.
