Are you up for a challenge? How about a virtual challenge? We’re taking social distancing to a whole new level. The Marathon Sports Mile Madness Virtual Challenge is a weekly running contest similar to our Winter Warrior Challenge with a little bit of a twist.

Each week we’ll be partnering with one of our vendors to encourage you to take on a different number of miles (running or walking).

At the end of the week, you’ll be asked to post a screenshot of your total mileage on a tracking app (Strava, Garmin, Apple, etc.) on your personal social media page (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and tag us (@marathonsports , @runnersalley, @soundrunnerct) with the hashtag #MSMileMadness. If posted with the appropriate mileage you’ll be entered to win prizes from the “brand of the week”!

Rules will vary every single week, there will always be a mileage “expectation” but in addition, the brands will get to choose their own rules and themes. These will be laid out EVERY MONDAY on all of our social channels.

We hope you’ll join us in the fun and crush some mileage!
