What's your longest run distance? How about 25000 miles?

Earthathon
A few months ago while catching up with my Twitter running friends, I started seeing the hashtag #earthaton. Turns out @GoRunHappy created a very cool challenge for Twitter runners from around the world called the Earthathon Relay. 

Participants contribute each of their running miles to a virtual lap consisting of 25,000 miles around the earth. As word spread, the miles started coming in faster and faster as more people signed up. As of December 23rd, 2014 there were only 2,899 miles to go! Now that's an ultra!

What happens when the 25,000 mile lap is done? The Earthathon Team Relay! In 2015 there will be ten teams of runners each racing to do a lap of the world. That's a total of 250,000 miles! 

Teams are currently looking for participants. I'm proud to be a part of #teamhumanrace, lead by captain @PennyWalford and co-leaders @ramavery and @ultrarunersteve. In an effort to recruit some members and create team spirit, I thought I would even create a logo for our team!

So if you are looking for something to fun to do, a way to keep you motivated during the off-season and a way to stay connected to the running community--join us in the Earthathon Relay!
