Event Description

Road to Boston Challenge
26.2 Miles. 20 Days. One Finish Line.

*This event is open to faculty, staff and students of Lehigh Carbon Community College ONLY*

The Road to Boston Challenge is a virtual endurance challenge inspired by the spirit, grit, and legacy of the Boston Marathon. Over the course of 20 days, participants will work toward completing a total of 26.2 miles — one marathon — at their own pace, on their own schedule.

Run or walk your miles anywhere: on roads, trails, treadmills, or tracks. Whether you’re training consistently or just getting started, every mile counts. This challenge is about commitment, consistency, and honoring the journey — not speed or competition.

There’s no start gun and no finish tape — just you, your miles, and the determination to reach the finish.
