Registration for our event is open, with a special starting price of $30! We're kicking things off with a little mystery—the tasks are a secret for now.

But don't worry, the fun is just getting started! Starting on Monday, September 8th, we'll reveal ten (10) new tasks/badges each day. As we unveil more of the challenge, the registration price will increase by $2 daily until it reaches $40 and all 50 tasks are revealed. Tasks will be unveiled via our Instagram (@fleet_feet_poughkeepsie) and Facebook (@Fleet Feet Poughkeepsie) accounts. If you're not on social media, we'll also add the tasks as they're revealed to this site. Make sure to scroll to the bottom to check them out.

• On Wednesday, October 1st, the challenge officially begins! The registration fee will be $45 at that point.
• Registration closes on Sunday, October 5th, so don't miss your chance to sign up!

Fall in Love with Every Mile

This challenge is all about creativity, effort, and having a blast! While some tasks will make you think and plan, they're designed to be accessible to everyone, no matter your running or walking experience. You won't find anything overly difficult, like rock climbing, but you will need to put in some effort. We're confident that every single person who registers can complete at least 35 tasks!

Getting all 50 tasks is a tougher goal, but that's what makes it a challenge! 🏅

Here are a few examples of tasks from our previous events to give you a taste of what's to come (these won't be in the new challenge, though!)

• Run or walk past a brewery 🍻
• Complete a run or walk wearing a lei  🌺
• Complete a run or walk wearing suspenders  👀

The Mystery Is Part of the Journey

Part of the excitement is signing up before all the tasks are revealed! If you're the type of person who needs to complete all 50 tasks, you may want to wait until they are all public before registering. This way, you can be sure you're comfortable with every single one. We won't be offering any alternatives to keep the challenge fun and fair for everyone!

Before you register, here are a few rules to keep the challenge fun and fair for everyone:

• Timing is Everything: All tasks must be completed between October 1st and November 30th. Tasks completed outside of this window won't count, so no jumping the gun!
  
  
• Run or Walk, It's All Good: Whether you're a runner or a walker, your miles count.
  
  
• Minimum Mile Requirement: Each task must be completed during a run or walk of at least one (1) mile.
  
  
• Stacking Tasks: You can complete multiple tasks on a single outing, but your mileage must match the number of tasks you're checking off. For example, if you complete three (3) tasks on one run, your run must be at least three (3) miles long.
  
  
• Log It to Win It: All tasks must be logged as complete in RunSignup to count—no exceptions! We'll email you detailed instructions on how to do this before the challenge begins.
  
  
• The Honor System: This challenge is based on the honor system. We highly encourage you to share photos of your completed tasks in our private Facebook group and on this event website (check out the 'Photos' tab up top). It's a blast to see how everyone is tackling the challenge.

You can expect to receive your first email from us on Saturday, September 27th. If you register after this date, you'll receive it within 48 hours of signing up. This email will have all the important details you need, including:

• Instructions on how to log your tasks in RunSignup.
  
  
• How to share your progress in our private Facebook group.
  
  
• Information on local pickup for your SWAG.

Please be patient and wait for this email. There's nothing you need to do before the challenge officially kicks off on October 1st, other than maybe mapping out your strategy!

We'll be sending important updates via email, so be sure to register with an email address that you check regularly. Critical information will also be posted to our private Facebook group, which you can find here. Just be sure to request to join AFTER you've registered. This is a private group, and only confirmed registered participants will be approved to join.
