Military Miles Challenge (May-June 2026)

The race.

The Military Miles Challenge is a virtual event running May 1–June 30, 2026, open to runners and walkers of all ages participating from anywhere. Participants aim to complete 165 miles during the two-month period by logging runs and walks at their own pace on the race tracking page. All participants receive a custom medal featuring the six major U.S. Military branches; completion of the full 165 miles is not required to earn the medal. Those exceeding 165 miles can earn additional awards: one dog tag, lapel pin, or paracord survival bracelet for each 15 miles beyond 165, up to a maximum of six items. Participants register their choice of award type and branch preferences before earning extra bling. Medals and earned items ship after the challenge ends on June 30, 2026.
