Race to the Moon
Challenge Ended: July 20, 2019In July 1969, three American astronauts traveled nearly a quarter-million miles to the Moon -- all we need you to do is run 50. The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum invites you to celebrate #Apollo50 and Race to the Moon!
From June 1 to July 20, join tens of thousands of runners across the country to Race to the Moon by running 50 miles in 50 days leading up to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11. Once the collective challenge miles reach the distance to the Moon, 244,390 miles, all Challenge participants who complete the challenge will receive a special milestone badge in their Strava trophy case.
But there's more, we are challenging the group to make a new moonshot. Let's race to the Moon fifty times, running a total of 12.2 Million miles before the 50th anniversary on July 20!
It took 400,000 individuals working towards a common goal to land two people on the Moon. This summer, we challenge you to join a running club, go for a jog with friends, or even enter your first 5K!
