  • sign up for the 28-day challenge,
  • choose a distance goal for yourself (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 miles ... or go "unleashed" to run as much as you can),
  • aim to hit that goal between July 14 and Aug. 11,
  • share your progress and stories in our groups and on socials,
  • Get an exclusive MH Tee and participate in mini-challenges and giveaways!*
  • the challenge closes at the end of the Summer Olympics, Aug. 11.
