The main goal is to run 100 miles, however the greater goal is to encourage fitness. To that end, you are encouraged to set personal goals for pace and distance. Try to increase distance and/or improve pace throughout the summer!

Guidelines:

Track your exact mileage on a calendar/chart. Mapmyrun.com is a great resource. Mapmyrun.com helps to organize runs, track mileage, calculate pace, and offers several other features

Submit monthly progress to Coach Lund by the 4th day of each month. Standings will be posted on the 5th day of each month to the Washtenaw Christian Athletics page on Facebook & Instagram.

Send calendar or chart through Google Docs OR as a .pdf to slund@washtenawchristian.org 

Tracking is on your honor since the running will be completed individually

Only dedicated running/jogging counts. If you need to walk part of the route, that does not count towards your mileage.

You may run indoors or outdoors. Running during sporting events does not count. walking, hiking, and FitBit steps do not count towards the 100 Mile Goal.

If running outdoors, be cautious and aware of your surroundings. Make sure an adult knows when and where you will be running AND when you anticipate returning. 

Students/Staff who successfully complete the 100 Mile Challenge will receive a t-shirt at no cost. Parents/Alumni may purchase the t-shirt for $10.
