Is there any interest in a RUNNER version of Planet Ultra's Mt. Everest Climbing Challenge? We're happy to add a category for our running fans... But we'd need at least 12 participants to reach the minimum to create/make a finisher singlet. Please comment below. The Challenge starts July 2nd! https://planetultra.com/everesting-challenge/

Do YOU have what it takes to climb Mt. Everest?
Most expeditions to Everest take about two months; and many never make it to the summit.
Starting Monday, October 12th, you have 50 days to climb 29,029'. Run, walk, hike- just GET THERE. We're challenging our Planet Ultra runners to not only make it to the summit, but accumulate MORE climbing than our cyclists. Our first Everesting Challenge is nearly over. Our cyclists will have climbed well over 2 MILLION feet.
We're throwing down the gauntlet. Who's tougher? Runners or cyclists??? Take the Challenge! https://planetultra.com/everesting-challenge/
Entry includes Everesting runner singlet for everyone who gets to the Summit... and chances to win prizes including FREE 2020 Planet Ultra event entry.

“Everesting” has become a thing – now part of the global bicycling vernacular. It’s a fairly simple concept, yet brutally challenging: Pick any hill, anywhere in the world, and climb it repeatedly, until you reach the height of Mt. Everest at 29,029′.

America Strong mileage challenge was created to inspire everyone to stay active, fit, strong, positive and motivated while we’re TOGETHER, but apart, during the COVID-19 crisis. The 21-day Challenge is a wonderful way for you to stay on track and excited for what will hopefully be a full Fall schedule of racing. Your entry also helps Planet Ultra stay afloat, as we've been forced to cancel 6 events since March. Details and registration link, here: http://runplanetultra.com/americastrong-mileage-challenge/
