Event summary
Get ready for the exhilarating Run 31 Challenge, taking place from June 1 to August 31, 2026! This unique virtual running event invites participants to tackle an impressive 236-mile journey along the stunning US-31 route, from Holland, Michigan, to Charlevoix, Michigan. Whether you prefer running or walking, this challenge is designed for everyone, encouraging you to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement or treadmill intentionally.
You can break down the miles into manageable portions, averaging about 4 miles on Mondays and Thursdays, and 10 miles on Saturdays. Along the way, you'll "stop" at picturesque lakeside towns, making your experience even more enjoyable as you explore the beauty of Michigan's west coast. While tracking your progress is based on the honor system, you have the flexibility to go beyond the target distance, with the possibility of reaching 253 miles to Petoskey or 289 miles to Mackinaw City! Join the excitement, log your miles, and embrace the spirit of the Run 31 Challenge this summer!

Organiser's Description
From June 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026 run VIRTUALLY from Holland, Michigan, along US-31, to Charlevoix, Michigan!
That's 236 miles! It's essentially the equivalent of going 4 miles on Monday and Thursday and 10 miles on Saturday. We'll "stop" along the way at beautiful lakeside towns as we make our way along the west coast (best coast).
* You can run or walk, but they must be "intentional" miles. E.g., you can't just take your steps from the day and convert them to miles. Lace up those shoes and hit the pavement or treadmill!
* You don't need a device (smartwatch or app) to track your miles. You will be recording your miles using the honor system.
* You may go farther than 236 miles in those 3 months. It's 253 miles to Petoskey and 289 miles to Mackinaw City! But do your best to hit that 236.
