Dear Spring100 Community,
Greetings! I know you have been patiently waiting to hear whether 2026 will hold another wonderful Spring100 Challenge. What a blessing and joy it has been to host over the years!
As this year holds many changes for me, I have chosen to take a break from hosting the Spring100 Challenge in 2026. My hope and prayer is to be back next year!
Until then, my encouragement to you is this: press on. Create small groups and local communities this spring and keep the challenge going! Seek to encourage others in the Lord. Stay active. Look heavenward and run with endurance!
In Christ,
Rachel L. -Psalm 147:11
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

Thank you so much for putting it together last year! I enjoyed doing it, and it helped me keep in shape. My plan is to still try to walk a mile everyday even when Spring hits as much as I can.

Thank you, Rachel, for hosting previous years! It was so much fun and such great motivation. I will pray that God will bless, protect and guide you in these new chapters of life! May the changes all be for good. 🙂

Greetings of love from Brazil! Thank you for hosting it for so many years, Rachel! May God bless and guide you in all the changes, and may His Presence go with you! I still plan to walk at least 100 miles this Spring Lord willing.
All for Jesus,

I will pray for you and your family as I walk and as the Lord reminds me!!!
“Pour out all your worries and stress upon Him and leave them there, for He always tenderly cares for you.”

Thank you for opening up the Dashboard to us on the 1st day of spring!!! 🙂 The Lord bless you and your family, Rachel! (I put this comment on the group on March 14th, but it was “awaiting moderation”. It never passed through. It’s been hard for me to get on the group. Sign-in is a nightmare of loops, as well as leaving a comment. All the other years were easy: login once with my old info and password, and it was done. It didn’t take my password this year. Hope this comment goes through!)
Julie, I’m praying that the Lord will bless your son’s surgery and recovery in every way. “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:7.

Praying for JJ!
