Race Overview:

The 7th Annual Zen Squirrel Challenge returns this February! 

Keep those New Year goals rolling with a healthy, fun, and motivating personal challenge designed to get you RUNNING or WALKING MORE all month long.  Once again, we’re proud to contribute a portion of every registration to support the Breast Cancer Collective, our annual charity partner.

The challenge concept is simple:  run or walk anywhere and accumulate 28 total miles during February.  Want to do more?  Great — surpass 28 miles and see how far you can go in the 28 days of the month.

Each time you complete an activity, track your distance and log it on our easy-to-use online platform (see 'Record Your Miles').   Watch your progress build throughout the challenge.

You can participate as an individual and also on a team of up to 10. Make it social — gather friends from anywhere, form a team, and see how many miles you can stack together. You might even win awards!

And yes… the swag is AWESOME. Tees, medals, head wraps, hoodies, socks, pom hats, car seat covers — every registration includes a great swag package, with additional opportunities to earn even more through bonus challenges, top-miler awards (individual and team), random giveaways, and referral rewards. Everyone loves the Zen Squirrel!

Join the Challenge and GET ZEN this February!
