The Race Back to School Goes Virtual!

Aug 14, 2020

We are excited to invite you to participate in the reimagined Race Back to School From September 15th - October 15th.

This annual, fun-filled challenge is held on the Kingdom Trails network and encourages walkers, runners, and bikers of all ages and ability levels. All event proceeds are donated to local outdoor youth programming.


This year we've changed the game a little to make sure everyone is safe and socially distanced!

Instead of competing on a single day, participants will track their mileage over a monthlong period. Starting September 15th and running (no pun intended) through October 15th, runners, walkers, and bikers will compete individually or as a family (who have quarantined together) and track their progress virtually. * 

The goal is to achieve the most amount of points! 

Points are awarded for each mile traveled while running walking or biking on the KT network from Sept. 15- Oct 15. 

Points are ALSO awarded for participation at extra credit fun stations which range from physical fitness challenges to brain teasers.

1,2, and 3 place in all categories will receive prizes.

Individuals and family teams (People living in the same household) are eligible for competition. 
Participants will download and use the Ride With GPS app to monitor their mileage and track progress. Participants will need access to technology for this challenge. If technology access is a barrier to participation in this event- please contact katie@kingdomtrails.org for alternative methods.

So, where can you sign up for this super fun event? So glad you asked! 

You can register now on our Eventbrite page. Tickets for youths (5-15) are $10 and $20 for adults (16+) 
Please make sure to register for the appropriate category (on foot or on a bike).  
 
In order to monitor and track mileage, participants will download and use the Ride With GPS app. More information, including how to join the leaderboard, will be given after registration. If you'd like to get a head start, download the app today and get your account set up!**
