Rainbow Retro Challenge

Run with the ponies and collect rewards along the way! At each milestone you'll unlock a special pony and earn a pin showcasing their unique cutie mark. Select a 120 or 600 mile journey as your goal and start earning your rewards.

I wanted to have something to motivate me after having my baby that was flexible to my new schedule. I’ve walked or ran my miles with stroller in tow for most of them. It is so motivating to see how much we’ve moved and it has become a special time for us!

Some participants like to do multiple Virtual Running Club events at once. If you want to double-dip – that is, apply your miles to multiple events – you have our full permission to do so. Choose whatever works best for you!
There’s a special Facebook group for VRC Distance Challenges, where members share their achievements and cheer each other on. Joining the group is entirely voluntary.
Work with our friends at Wander Project and when you raise the minimum threshold for a non-profit (usually $500), Virtual Running Club will sponsor your participation in this event at no cost to you!
