WINTER SERIES VIRTUAL CHALLENGE

What is the WINTER SERIES VIRTUAL CHALLENGE?

This year’s Winter Series VIRTUAL CHALLENGE is to complete and submit your results for 135 miles by the end of the Winter Series - March 5, 2022.

What course should I run or walk?

You can run/walk any time, any place!

But **imagine** you are doing the 2021-2022 WINTER SERIES – virtually!  In your **imaginary course,** you start at Spring Valley County Park in southern York County and run the 4-mile Winter Series LIVE course.  That park is hilly, so you take a bit of a rest. 

From there you run to John C. Rudy County Park, and because you are on foot, your course takes you on safe, back roads, including the Northern Extension of the Heritage Rail Trail, a total of 17 miles.  While there, you run the John Rudy 5-mile Winter Series LIVE course.  Since that course is moderately hilly, but not like Spring Valley, you take only a short rest.

You leave John Rudy and head to Regents Glen Country Club Golf Course.  In fact, you take the Heritage Rail Trail the whole way, eight more miles. While there, you run the Winter Series LIVE Indian Rock 10K.

Leaving Indian Rock, you head to the location of the Jacobus 5 Miler near Lake Williams, another seven miles.  You can go south on the Rail Trail, leaving the trail just before Howard Tunnel and use the extended Jacobus course to the start line.  Add another five miles for the Winter Series LIVE Jacobus 5 Miler.

Now you head to Springettsbury 10K.  Your **imaginary** run takes you on George St, to Market, to Mt Zion, to Williams Rd, adding another 11 miles.  Your total is now 70 miles!

But, you don’t think that’s enough, so you decide to add the Winter Series LIVE races that **didn’t happen** this year.  This gets you only to 89 miles, but – you had to travel to each location.

From Springettsbury you go to Northeastern 5K (an 8-mile trip) plus run the 5K.  From there you head to North Salem Elementary School (11 miles) to do the Dover 10 Miler.  You leave Dover to go to your final destination (17 miles), and do the Dallastown 10K. 

Your total mileage is 134.7 – and you call it a winter.  We’re rounding up to 135 miles!

Your VIRTUAL CHALLENGE, should you accept it, is to run/walk 135 miles between November 7, 2021 through the last day of the winter series, March 5, 2022.  You can run any amount at a time, and submit your results as you go.  

Will I get some cool swag?

Participants of the VIRTUAL event will get specially-designed swag: a medal that doubles as a holiday ornament as well as another item TBD very soon!  (Sorry, swag cannot be mailed outside of the United States.)

What about a digital bib and a finisher certificate?

Yep, you'll get that, too!

What about a map of my progress as I gradually submit my results?

Yes, there's a MAP!  Thank you, Jeff Hines.  The map shows what the route would be like if you ran it in the order specified above.  Of course, the map will simply track your progress in number of miles no matter where you run.  Remember you can run this VIRTUAL CHALLENGE anywhere.  Here's a link to the map if you want to look at it as Jeff has designed.

How do I submit my results?

Here's a link in which runsignup explains how to do this.  Submit my Virtual Results

Can I upload my own photos?

Yes, here's how to do that.
