Join The Movement
Join others nationwide and participate in the Memorial Day Challenge in 2025. Whether you walk, run, bike, swim, or paddleboard, anyone can enter the miles they earn from May 23-26, 2025, to win prizes. It's a great way to spend time moving your body and honoring veterans in the midst of the Memorial Day weekend festivities.
How Does It Work?
Participants will submit the miles they’ve clocked during the weekend. Miles determines the points awarded (based on calories burned).
01
1 Mile Swim = 100 Points
3 Mile Paddle = 100 Points
3 Mile Ruck (+10% body weight) = 100 Points
4 Mile Run = 100 Points
4 Mile Walk = 100 Points
12 Mile Bike Ride = 100 Points

A LIVE scoreboard will show participants and points awarded throughout the weekend. The Challenge begins Friday, May 23 starting at 12:00 AM until Monday May 26 at 11:59 PM. Winners will receive prizes but more importantly, our goal is to reach 8,000 miles altogether.

Participants pay a $35 entry fee (which pays for a flag and a badge which will be shipped to you). Must sign up before May 20th to receive a flag & badge. Use the “REGISTER” button below to sign up!
