Personal Fitness Challenge
To reward individuals for their dedication to living a healthy life and incorporating running as their regular exercise, we invite you to join the Personal Fitness Challenge. Since 1974, the RRCA has been helping motivate runners through the Personal Fitness Challenge. From beginning runners to experience endurance athletes, we all need a little motivation now and then. Program fees are varied based on your goal.
How the Program Works
- Determine your 6 month total mileage goal from 300, 600, or 1000 miles
