In response to the alarming inquiry about our medals we have introduced throughout the years, we would like to introduce the Virtual Repeat “Choose Your Mileage” Challenge. This will be a 3 week event that will represent 3 significant Civil Rights events in history. Virtual Runners, Walkers, and Cyclists will have the opportunity to pay tribute and earn the exclusive medal that represents such an important part of our history.
All mileage accumulated during this virtual event will go towards our 1 Million Miles for Justice Initiative, so don't hold back!
