This was SO MUCH FUN in 2024, so we're starting it again!
​
Can you cross the U.S. - in miles - by the end of 2025?
Your mileage goals are at the bottom of this page, but first; here's how this will work!
Download the STRAVA app (or log into a Strava account online) and use this to track your walking, running, swimming, or biking workouts throughout the year.
For us to track your mileage, follow Josh Reis on Strava - that's it!
(If you don't have Strava just use the clipboard on the site of the desk to add your miles throughout the year!)
​
Here are your mileage goals and how to win! We are going to be offering HUGE prizes! Merchandise, personal trainings, gym memberships, gift certificates, AND MORE!
​
There are TWO ROUTES we will be following across the country.
​
2,742 miles - BIKE AND WALK - That's East to West (West Quoddy Head Maine to the Pacific Coast in Washington State).
​
2,089 - RUN - That's the shortest distance across the country - San Diego to Georgia!
​
183 - SWIM - That's the distance across Massachusetts!
​
Bonus mileage - it takes 3,600 on ROADS to drive across the country. If you hit this number you'll be in for a GRAND PRIZE!
On Strava, even if you don't start on the First, you can connect your Apple Health or any connected devices and log your previous workouts, so it won't be too late to join! Just make sure to check the Health settings and make sure it's selected to automatically send your workouts to Strava so that we can count them.
Let the race begin... again!
