It’s that time again — time for our sixth annual Full Moon Challenge. 2025 will bring TWELVE full moons, so it’s time to gear up and get ready for our 12K and 12 mile running and walking challenge! This challenge can be completed any time between January 1 and December 31, 2025. You can run or walk the twelve kilometers or 12 miles, complete it all at once or break it up — the choice is yours! You can complete 1K or 1M each month for each Full Moon throughout the year, so complete 12K or 12 Miles at once in honor of all of the full moons, or you can complete 12K or 12Miles for each full moon.

What is a virtual race? A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked) from any location you choose. You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. Running and walking on your own, or with friends! And your medal will be shipped directly to you. Complete a virtual 5Ks, 10K, half marathon and more! Each of our races benefits a different charity. We’ve already raised more than $892,045 for charities from running events on this website! We are making a difference…one race at a time.
