Bigger and better than the first Subway System Challenge, Subway System Challenge II will take you all over NYC, everywhere the subway goes, and even a few places it doesn't...
The Challenge starts September 21st! On your journey, you'll receive digital badges tracking your progress, illuminating landmarks*, and noting when you perform a particularly impressive feat relative to your overall goal. Of course we'll have a digital bib and finisher certificate for you as well.
This time around there are three distinct challenges to choose from and you have up to 17 weeks to complete them.
Passenger: Run or Walk ~152 Miles on the rails and see the best of NYC! (Less than 1.5 miles a day)
Conductor: Run or Walk ~308 Miles on the rails, visit every station, and see just about everything to be seen! (Less than 3 Miles a day)
Operator: Run or Walk over 650 miles on the rails and master the entire system, including the regional railroads! (Less than firve miles a day)
If you want to bike part of the distance, that's fine too. Just choose one of the Helter Skelter divisions. Please note, helter skelter divisions are not eligible for team challenges.
This challenge should provide you an excellent test of fitness and an opportunity to plan and push your training a bit as well, no matter how many miles you run weekly or which challenge you choose.
