Organiser's Description

A virtual challenge to cover the distance around Lake Norman! At 520 miles in perimeter, Lake Norman is the largest man-made body of fresh water in North Carolina. Grab a friend/family member/running buddy (or 2 or 3 or 4) or tackle it solo! Participants will all receive a race tee, finisher medal, and a pair of custom socks upon completion!

The challenge will take place from June 1 - August 31 and you can log running/walking miles, biking miles, swimming miles, and/or paddle or row miles. For individuals, you will cover all the miles yourself - running, biking, swimming, paddling, rowing or some combo of all! For teams, each member contributes. The total of all the miles covered will be added together to reach the mileage goal. Each member will be able to log their miles, and those miles will get added to the team mileage.

Tracking/logging miles is super simple. You will simply click on RESULTS [https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/94175], then hit the button that says "Submit Virtual Results" and follow the on screen prompts. You can log miles daily or weekly, whatever you choose. You can also log as many times a day as you need, which is great for kids who go out and ride their bike 10 times and want to log each time..
