Organiser's Description
We've set up a Virtual Challenge to run (or bike) the entire thing. It's just under 500 miles and you'll have just under 2 months, so in an effort to keep it a doable task you'll get 10 miles of credit for every mile you run, and 5 miles for every mile you ride.
We're running South to North...No other reason than that's where our office is. So we'll be lacing up (or saddling up) in Cherokee, NC (at the Southern entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park) and making our way North along the entire parkway and arriving in Rockfish Gap, VA.
We'll be using Racejoy in addition to entering your time, so you have two ways you can track and look at your progress throughout the months and keep up with your progress...You can even take advantage of the google street view for the entire course.
Swag? You bet...We've got a couple things that will be available for purchase:
* An awesome wood key chain that we'll be putting the logo on
* A Long Sleeve Soft Stye Shirt
