DIFFERENT LEVELS AVAILABLE TO CHALLENGE EVERYONE!

We challenge you to run or walk at least one mile each day in January in our 13th annual Winter Challenge! As long as you run or walk at least one mile each day, indoors or outdoors, you will remain in the challenge. But, if you miss a day, you’re out! Except for the first four days of the year--nobody gets the boot until we're at least five days into the challenge. For veteran Winter Challengers, we've eliminated the bronze, silver, gold levels and we're using a new app this year.

100% OF PROCEEDS TO CHARITY!

The 2026 Winter Challenge is produced by Boston’s RACE Cancer Foundation and will raise thousands of dollars to battle cancer. Our 2026 beneficiary partner will be One Mission.

LOG YOUR MILES IN OUR NEW APP.

You will log your mileage on our mobile-friendly website which can be accessed from any web browser.

You’ll have four days to log each daily run. For example, you have until 11:59pm on January 5th to log your January 1st run, or until 11:59pm January 20th to log your January 16th run. If you miss the 4-day deadline, you’re out of the challenge–no exceptions.

JOIN THE FUN & STAY UP TO DATE ON FACEBOOK!

Have you joined the conversation in our Facebook group? We have Winter Warriors spanning the globe in 5 different countries and in all 50 states across the USA! Share your selfies and tag  #winterchallenge in your posts for a chance to win prizes.

JOIN THE TEAM CHALLENGE FOR EXTRA BRAGGING RIGHTS! 

The Winter Challenge is much more fun when you create a team and get your friends and family involved. There’s strength in numbers, because the total mileage for all team members determines your team’s ranking on the leaderboard. BONUS: our challenge is the one and only original, so there's no "Teams can have a maximum of 10 people." restriction to worry about.

GET YOUR SHIRT & HOODY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT! 

We will have commemorative gear with the name of each Winter Challenger on the back. You can register and order your shirt until December 31st.

You’ll have four days to log each daily run. For example, you have until 11:59pm on January 5th to log your January 1st run, or until 11:59pm January 20th to log your January 16th run. If you miss the 4-day deadline, you’re out of the challenge–no exceptions.
