AMERICA 250 CHALLENGE
250 Miles. One Nation. One Challenge.
In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, Conquer Your War and the Appalachian Heroes Foundation invite participants across the United States to complete 250 miles of movement and earn the limited-edition American Hero 250 Challenge Coin.
Walk it. Run it. Ruck it. Hike it. Bike it. Swim it. Roll it. Mix it up.
Your miles. Your pace. Your challenge.
Participants may complete their 250 miles anywhere in the world and log their activities virtually through RunSignup. Every registered participant who completes the challenge earns the commemorative metal American Hero 250 Challenge Coin, created exclusively for this event.
Registration: $35 per participant
Registration includes participation in the virtual America 250 Challenge, online mileage tracking and leaderboard access, eligibility for category recognition, and one collectible metal American Hero 250 Challenge Coin upon successful completion of 250 miles.
Challenge Categories Participants can choose one activity or combine multiple categories toward their 250-mile goal:
RUN • WALK • RUCK • HIKE • BIKE • SWIM • WHEEL/ADAPTIVE • MULTI-SPORT
You can also recognize leaders in categories such as First to 250, Most Miles, Top Runner, Top Walker, Top Rucker, Top Cyclist, Top Hiker, Top Swimmer, Top Adaptive Athlete, Top Youth Finisher, Top Veteran Finisher, Top Family/Team, and Multi-Sport Champion.
I would make the coin a completion award, not a competitive prize. Everyone who finishes gets one. The competitive categories can be bragging rights, certificates, website recognition, or separate awards later.
Suggested short RunSignup description Complete 250 miles. Earn the coin. Celebrate 250 years of America.
