Ride and Shine! Virtual Challenge

With in-person events at a standstill we would like to offer a virtual challenge that allows all participants to ride without the risk of coming into close contact with others. The Ride and Shine! Virtual Challenge officially begins on Saturday April 11, 2020 and requires all participants to ride either 100 Miles or 100 Kilometers (62 Miles) per week for 3 consecutive weeks. All Finishers will receive a custom shirt, custom socks, wearable bluetooth speakers from our friends at Zulu Audio (retail value $39.99), a $10 Gift Card from Confluence Running , a $10 off coupon for the Old Forge Gravel Grinder (Sept 12, 2020) and a plant based and gluten free BOOM! Energy Bar

All donations and part of the proceeds of the event will go to a fund, which will give healthcare workers, police officers, firefighters and other first responders on the front line of the Coronavirus pandemic the opportunity to participate in future Willow Running and Cycling events for free (2020-2021). The number of recipients will be determined by the amount of donations and race proceeds.

What's your ride? Road, Trail or Indoors. Your miles (KM) your way! 

Tracking...We will present all participants with an editable PDF Log Sheet (old school) to record their mileage. At the end of the 3 weeks we will ask for these to be emailed to us. We are employing the Honor System that simply put, puts in a trust factor into the process. Work it, earn it, get it!
