Summer Mileage Challenge
Hello Runners and walkers. Summer is coming and we need some motivation to keep moving in the hot summer months! The parks are beautiful, and the sun sets are later and later!! Right now, as we slowly move through the summer and await our next training cycle in August, we need to continue to stay active and healthy!
This year we are changing things up and want to invite you to join us for a Summer Milage Challenge! In leu of our regular summer maintenance training program, we are offering a challenge that will allow you to get your miles in a time that works for you! Fleet Feet Chico is also offering weekly Saturday community runs, so you can meet with a group and get your miles in together! First Saturday run will be June 1st and will continue each week through August 31st. All Saturday morning runs will start at the water tower at 3rd St. and Orient. This is a safe place to park, pick up the Annie Glen path into lower Bidwell Park and when your Finished you are close to the local farmers market or downtown to grab a coffee or breakfast treat with your run buds!
How the challenge will work:
You set the pace. The goal is to stay active and moving through the hot summer months. To make this happen we are going to have a mileage challenge to help us stay accountable! 250 Miles from Memorial Day to Labor Day, let's go! Thats an average of 2.50 miles a day! Log your miles on our challenge page or join our Strava page and keep track of them there! As a group, let's hit a summer goal of 12,000 miles!!! If everyone stays on track, we can do it!!
Cost $30.00
Dates: Memorial Day, May 27th - Labor Day September 2nd, 2024

Fleet Feet Chicos 2024 Race Series Challenge
Who doesn’t love a challenge? This challenge is based on the three races that are owned by Fleet Feet Chico. How to play:
Do and complete a race form each races event:
- Bidwell Classic on March 2nd, 2024 (5k, 10k, Half Marathon)
- Fall Trail Classic on October 20th, 2024 (Endurance Challenge 50k, Half Marathon)
- Almond Bowl on November 3rd, 2024 (5k, 10k)
Of the races you must do a minimum combination of a 5k, 10k and Half Marathon or greater.
(Examples: BC 10k, Trail half, AB 5k or BC half, Trail Endurance Challenge, AB 10k)
Note: If you do the endurance challenge as part of your challenge it can count towards any race distance if you complete at least one lap (one lap – 5k, two laps – 10k, 3-4 laps- Half Marathon) But you will only be age graded for this race if you complete it.
All race times will be verified, age graded and uploaded by the race director the week after each race.
What is age grading?
Age grading is a way of analyzing running performance relative to your age and gender. It is based on world record race time data and attempts to estimate the best possible time an athlete can run a certain distance based on their age and gender. By using age grading this “levels” the playing field, allowing older or younger runners to be able to complete equally against those in in 20’s-40’s.
When your race is age graded you will receive a score. At the end of the challenge each of your 3 scores will be added up to give you a final score.
Learn more:
- All who complete the challenge will receive a limited-edition custom zipper hoodie from Upper Park Clothing ($50.00 value)
- Cost to participate $25.00 per runner.
- Must be registered by March 1st, 2024 to qualify for this year’s challenge
