Event Description
Back in the year of 1776, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, the founding fathers were united through the Declaration of Independence. The year 2020 may be a heck of a year to ring in a new decade but it doesn't change that we celebrate our freedom and patriotism as Americans in the United States of America. Run with your American swagger by joining the 177.6K Virtual Freedom Run with SoleRoots Racing. Prepare to bring Independence Day celebrations in style by challenging yourself with friends (socially distanced, of course) to complete 177.6 kilometers (110.35 miles) starting June 4 through July 4, 2020.
Are you up for 3.54 miles per day???? That's what this distance averages out to be. You can get your total of 177.6K by any combination of walking/jogging/running from June 4 through July 4, 2020 (i.e. run 3 miles today, 7 miles the next and off the following day). The experience of this virtual event is to challenge yourself and join the social camaraderie with other runners.
Follow these easy directions...
Declaration #1: SIGN UP..... Now! Go ahead get that John Hancock signature ready. Bring your friends like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin to join in with all the virtual fun of running like never before. Don't forget those friends to keep the accountability going.
Declaration #2: Add up your PURPOSEFUL running/walking daily mileage/kilometers with the user-friendly logging form. We don't want all the extra steps you had to make it to the bathroom or the mailbox. Just when you chose to lace up those tried and true shoes and purposefully run or walk. This event offers FREE easy logging through our form or text messaging.
Declaration #3: You can track your progress with other athletes that log through the month and follow all the pictures and fun along the way to LIFE, LIBERTY, and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!
Complete the challenge in style and add to your American swagger by celebrating The United States of 'Merica in true fashion. Race swag will be mailed to you that includes a RED, WHITE AND BLUE TRUCKER Hat (3 different options) and a SoleRoots Racing water bottle holder. With many public water fountains closed we want you to stay hydrated on those runs!
***THIS EVENT DOES NOT OFFER MEDALS*** American values weren't founded by participation trophies... this virtual event is all about the challenge and celebration of FREEDOM! So, let it ring TRUE that we may offend some and if you want a medal find the virtual event that gives you the option :)
There will be a form that participants are provided to complete for each daily run to submit their mileage to show where they are on the leaderboard.
Just for registering you're automatically entered into a drawing of a $50 gift card!
