Nope. You can do your distance however works best for you. Running is great, but so is walking, hiking, dancing, swimming, rucking...
While we ship items together whenever possible, due to the custom nature of our swag, items are often shipped separately. For those that register for the "Up Front" option, pins and medal will ship all together starting in early March. For those that register for "Ship Rewards As They're Earned", each pin will ship as you report the distance milestone in the VRC reporting app. You will be able to begin logging your distance starting January 1, 2022. Milestone awards will start shipping early March.
The USPS is our primary shipping provider. Shirts, pins, and medals ship with a tracking email from support@virtualrunningclub.com. Bibs are sent in a standard white envelope with a first class stamp.

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.
You have through June 2023 to complete this challenge! Take the time you need to reach the 100-mile distance goal.
