FREE Virtual Challenge | MillenniumRunning.com
 

Join the challenge - it's super easy and FREE!

Millennium Running is here for our AMAZING running community and we are inviting you to challenge yourself to running or walking, logging your miles and participating in a themed virtual 5k each week.

Sign up for free!

I have to register to exercise at home? Yeah – yeah you do. We’ll send you weekly coaching emails and give you a place to track your daily/weekly miles and your weekly 5k times. Plus, did we mention – it’s FREE!

Run or walk - get moving!

This is the fun part. Carve some time out during the day to run or walk around your neighborhood,  your house, on a treadmill – whatever is available to you. Then, at the end of the week – participate in our themed virtual 5k.

Track your miles!

We’re going to help you keep track of how many miles you went during the week and throughout the challenge. You just need to log in and input how far you’ve gone each day and your weekly 5k time by each Sunday at 11:59pm.

Share and encourage!

Now you get to tell the world. Take a pic or two and share them on Facebook and Instagram – and be sure to tag us @millenniumrunning. Your post might be the very thing that motivates, encourages or inspires someone else to get or stay active. Remember, we’re all in this together!

Keep going!

This might be the easiest step. Just repeat steps two through four each week. Join us, it’s going to be fun and a great way to stay connected until we’re all back together again!

We got spirit, how 'bout you?!

Training in Progress shirts can be purchased for just $5. That’s right, just five bucks and they’re available in youth and adult sizes! (FREE to current 2020 Millennium Running Club Members)

Weekly Themed Virtual 5K

Each weekend we’re changing up the theme. Make your 5k run festive by dressing up to match the theme. Check back each week to see what the theme is and to download your free virtual race bib!

• Course – choose your own, jump on the treadmill, do laps around the living room, etc.
• Bibs – print and personalize your themed race bib each week.
• Photos – get creative – take your selfies and share them on social media.
• Results – don’t forget to submit your 5k times by Sundays at 11:59pm. and results will be published each Monday.

This week’s theme: ALL-Millennium
The moment you’ve been waiting for — the chance to show off that first Cinco de Miles quarter zip, your beloved Snowflake Shuffle hoodie, that nostalgic Red, White and Brews Relay trucker hat or simply grab your Training in Progress t-shirt. Don’t have any Millennium Running gear – well, let’s fix that soon – but in the meantime sport some Millennium colors (black and white) and get moving.

The Finer Details

DO I HAVE TO RUN OR WALK EVERYDAY?
There is no requirement to run or walk everyday; however, we are encouraging as many people as possible to get out there frequently!

“I’M NOT A RUNNER”, IS THIS FOR ME?
We hear this all the time at Millennium Running.  The answer is YES!  While we do have avid runners in our community, the Training in Progress Challenge is designed to motivate and inspire people of ANY ABILITY to get out there!   Whether you are a Boston Marathon qualifier or aspiring to walk without stopping for 20 minutes, it will be good for your physical and mental health!

WHAT IF I’M STAYING ACTIVE ON AN ELLIPTICAL OR BY SWIMMING, ETC?
That’s cool – we get it and we still want you yo participate. Here is a cool spreadsheet you can use to convert to miles or you can use this cool converter.

HOW DO I TRACK MY MILES?
There are numerous ways to track your miles… Garmin, iWatch, or old-school stop watch, and various apps.  Here are some good resources to check out: HERE

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY MILES?
It’s easy!   Once you’ve registered for the Training in Progress Challenge, you will receive a unique link via email to your RunReg entry that will allow you to submit your miles on a daily or weekly basis.   Tutorial video coming soon!

HOW FREQUENTLY DO I HAVE TO SUBMIT MY MILES?
You may submit your miles daily or however frequently you’d like during the week.  Don’t worry, we will remind you in your training/coaching emails.  Regardless, you will need to submit your miles by 11:59pm on Sundays.

WHAT IS THE MILEAGE TRACKER?
Once you submit your miles in your unique link, your mileage will be summed and displayed on the mileage tracker.  We will be giving special shoutouts for first timers, most miles completed, collective miles as a group – let’s have some fun and see how many times we can collectively run or walk across the Country!

WHAT DOES THE WEEKLY TRAINING LOOK LIKE?
Registrants will receive emails each Monday from our Millennium coaches that will outline a weekly training plan.  These plans will be differentiated into 3 basic groups of novice, recreational, and competitive.   Feel free to pick what works best for you!

WHEN ARE THE WEEKLY VIRTUAL 5K’s?
Based on the weekly training schedule, we will be hosting the Virtual 5ks each weekend – Pick the day / time on the weekend that works best in your life!

DO I NEED TO RUN THE SAME 5K COURSE EVERY WEEK? 
While you can certainly pick the same 5k course or jump on the treadmill to measure your improvements, it is not required to run the same course

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY 5K TIMES?
Just like submitting your miles, your unique link will have a field for submitting your weekly 5k time.    All times must be submitted by 11:59pm each Sunday night.

VIRTUAL 5K RESULTS:
Official Results for each themed Virtual 5K will be published each Monday.
