Sign up today for Run RepMO 2020 Challenge. Participants in this virtual race are challenged to complete 20 miles in 20 days. Now more than ever, the benefits of sunshine, fresh air, and fitness are important to the people in our community. Together we choose to stay active. Together we choose to stay safe while we do it. Choose daily to run, walk, hike, or bike. Remember to do so individually or only with your immediate family in your household. Avoid crowds. When encountering others on a trail or sidewalk, move to the side staying 6 feet apart.
All participants who register by midnight on Sunday, April 5th will receive a Run RepMO 2020 Challenge t-shirt. The first 50 participants age 12 and under to register will receive a free RAC day pass. Only $7.50 per participant to sign up!
