From the Organizer
May 1st-5th are "warm up" days--nobody gets DQ'd!
Different levels available to challenge everyone!
You can challenge yourself to any level, and can change your mind at anytime because you don't have to indicate the level when signing up. You can start on a higher level, and drop down to a lower level if you can't hit the daily mileage. But, if you miss a day, you’re out!
-- Bronze = run/walk 1 mile/day
-- Silver = run/walk 3 miles/day
-- Gold = run/walk 5 miles/day
For each level, you must run the minimum mileage every day, not just averaging that mileage. So if you run 5+ miles for 30 days, and 1 mile for 1 day, you will finish at the Bronze Level due to that 1 day of lower mileage. Each level is determined by your actual daily mileage, not your average daily mileage. The app tracks your daily total, so if you run three miles in the morning and another three miles in the evening, you'll have six miles for that day and qualify for the gold level.

BE AN INFLUENCER!
Use your Sharelink (you'll get this after registering) when inviting friends and family so that you can track your referrals. We have sweet prizes for our top influencers:
100% of proceeds to charity!
The 2021 May Challenge is produced by Boston's RACE Cancer Foundation and will raise thousands of dollars to battle cancer.
Log your runs on our Raceday iOS app or on Raceday-web from any web browser.
You will have two ways to log runs, either via a mobile website (Raceday web version) which can be accessed from any web browser at racemenu.com/raceday, or via RaceMenu's Raceday iOS mobile app which you can download from the App Store or by visiting racemenu.com/racedayios (note: if you have an older version of Raceday on your phone, you'll need to update to v2.3.11 or later)
You'll have four days to log each daily run. For example, you have until 11:59pm on May 5th to log your May 1st run, or until 11:59pm May 20th to log your May 16th run. If you miss the 4-day deadline, you're out of the challenge--no exceptions
Win prizes!
We will have prizes to award all month long. Some prizes will be awarded to randomly selected runners, while others may be awarded to runners based on creative #maychallenge posts on social media.
Join the Team Challenge for extra bragging rights!
The May Challenge is much more fun when you create a team and get your friends and family involved. There's strength in numbers, because the total mileage for all team members determines your team's ranking on the leaderboard. Use your Sharelink when inviting teammates and you'll also earn credit as an influencer in our referral rewards program!
