Fleet Feet Spring Walk or Run Challenge

March 1st, a pretty awesome walk or run challenge begins. The challenge, named the Bombastic Springtastic Challenge is virtual so anyone from anywhere in the world can participate. There is a cost to sign-up. However, you do receive a t-shirt and a medal if you complete 35 tasks. If you complete all fifty tasks before the event ends on April 31st, then you’re entered to win a gift card to fleet feet.

How does it work?

First, you need to head over to the webpage to signup. They will then send you an email explaining how to log everything and there is even an awesome Facebook Group. Each task completed will gain you a virtual badge. Make sure you are comfortable with completing the tasks before you signup.
