THE 2026 APEX CHALLENGE: 100 MILES IN MAY
Can you endure the challenge? 100 Miles in 31 days. It breaks down to 3.2 miles a day or 22.6 miles a week. You’re likely already moving—but are you moving with intent? This isn’t just a test of your lungs and legs; it’s a tactical strike on your time management, your discipline, and your mental fortitude.
Through the fog of the workday, the chaos of logistics, and the internal voice telling you to stay in bed: Will you find a way, or will you find an excuse?
THE OPERATIONAL RULES
THE MISSION: Run 100 miles between May 1st and May 31st. Any clime, any place.
THE STANDARD: If you have to ask if walking counts, you’re in the wrong place. No walking. No hiking. No treadmills. This is pure, outdoor asphalt-and-dirt business.
THE TRACKING: Register via Strava. Sync your Garmin, Apple Watch, or Nike Run. If it isn't on the Strava Group board, it didn't happen.
CRITICAL: The challenge goes live on Strava on April 1st. Watch your notifications. First-time challengers get the Strava Group access for free—Alumni, you know the drill.
MILESTONES & REWARDS
THE FINISHER: Every athlete who verifies 100+ miles and adheres to the "No Treadmill" creed earns the exclusive 2026 Branded Bills Finisher Performance Hat.
THE CHAMPION: The individual who logs the highest mileage total in the group will be awarded the 2026 Trophy by Trophy Smack.
THE TARGET: Tony Vega took the Championship Belt last year. Who is going to take it from him?
