Runners participating in the challenge must complete either the 50 mile or 74 mile challenge before July 4th at midnight! We encourage challenge participants to post their times daily to our results page to make sure all their miles are tracked. Runners participating in the challenge will automatically be entered into the 7.4 mile or 3.7mile virtual races as part of their challenge experience.

United We Run takes virtual racing to a whole new level with a DIY color run kit (red, white, and blue color run powder).
