Question: Once I place my Shirt order, when will my Spring100 T-shirt ship?
Answer: All Spring100 shirts will ship AFTER the Challenge has ended. Expected Ship date for the 2024 Spring100 T-shirts is July 10th!
Question: How much do shirts cost?
Answer: We are charging a minimal fee of $12.00 + Shipping for shirts! You qualify to purchase a shirt once you complete your 100 miles. If you’re using a family account, feel free to wait to order your shirts until all family members have finished to save on shipping!
Question: When is the first Spring100 day/post?? And when can I start counting miles??
Answer: Spring100 starts the first day of Spring! Start logging your miles on the first day of Spring(March 19th, 2024). To ensure you are part of the challenge and get a shirt at the “finish line” be sure to sign up for the Spring100 Challenge!
QUESTION: Where and when do I log my miles?
Answer: As of 2024, Miles can be daily logged on your Spring100 Member Portal!
QUESTION: How are the shirt sizes running?
ANSWER: For the 2024 Spring100 we are using brand Bella and Canvas! I find the sizing fits true to size and is very comfortable. Bella and Canvas Sizing Chart found here
Question: Can I count my biking miles?
Answer: This has been the biggest question I have received for Spring100. The answer is no, only miles walked or run count toward your Spring100 mile goal!
Question: Can I count running miles or does only walking count?
Answer: YES! You can run the Spring100 miles.
QUESTION: Do I have to walk 1.1 miles every day or can I walk 2.5 miles 3 times a week or run a few miles twice a week?
ANSWER: You can pace yourself however you want. We are just looking for that end goal of 100 miles by June 20th. So for instance, my sister doesn’t have the time to walk every day but she will walk 3.5 miles a few times a week! Others I know are training for a marathon and will be doing a 10-mile run once a week and count that as their Spring100 mileage. For some, due to new babies or spring vacations, you will be on a week and off a week here and there. So, take the walk at your own pace just as long as you make your miles total a 100 by the end of the Spring100 challenge!
QUESTION: Where does the walk take place? Do we meet somewhere?
ANSWER: The walk takes place wherever you make it. 🙂 Since we have entries from across the world, this is not a group walk where we meet at a specific location. For me, I will be walking my drive-way or back pasture. If I am traveling, I will take advantage of the hotel exercise room. For others of you who have joined, you are using your treadmill, the local track, at a park, or around town. Some very blessed participants will be walking the beach! 😀 The Spring100 challenge is wherever you make it! 🙂
QUESTION: Any tips for tracking miles?
ANSWER: If you have a smartphone, I like a free app called GoalFitness! There are several apps available for mile-tracking. If you don’t have an app or phone, we have used several fun ways to track the distance we have walked before. Using the mile gauge on your car is one way. Also, Google Maps will tell you the distance. And you can always do it the good old-fashioned way, 5280 feet = mile. 😉 Get creative if you don’t have a smartphone or digital tracking device and let us know how you do it! BE DILIGENT to keep track of and log your daily/weekly miles. This is so important to ensure you get a shirt at the end of the Spring100!
QUESTION: Can I count everyday activities as a part of my mileage. Like making dinner or walking to the bathroom? 😉
ANSWER: No, this challenge is for an additional and intentional walk apart from daily activities like bathroom breaks or walking to grab another dish of icecream! 😉
