Event summary

This inspiring challenge invites participants of all ages to walk or run a total of 160 purposeful miles over the two-month period, celebrating the dedication of our everyday heroes like nurses, firefighters, police, and EMS workers.

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting your fitness journey, the Thin Line Challenge is designed to motivate you to stay active at your own pace, wherever you are. As you log your miles, you’ll not only track your progress but also connect with other participants in a vibrant community.

Organiser's Description

Relevant Running is always trying to help keep you motivated and inspired. Our Everyday Heroes spend hours on their feet each day. For example, it's been said, if you average together the miles walked by a Nurse in an 8 hour shift (day & night), it comes out to 80 miles per month! Let's aspire to the commitment of our Nurses and others on the thin line including Police, Firefighters, Dispatch/911, and EMS. Join us throughout April and May 2026 for the Thin Line Challenge. A virtual challenge for runners and walkers of all ages anywhere at any time.

Your goal, should you choose to accept it, is to walk and/or run 160 purposeful/training miles from April 1st until May 31st 2026. But, there is more than just a single medal! Read on for details!
