Conqueror Challenges offer a flexible alternative to traditional races, allowing runners to earn medals while virtually traveling famous routes around the world at their own pace. These self-paced virtual challenges provide beautiful medals, environmental impact, and motivation without the pressure of specific race dates or competition.

• Virtual mileage goals you complete at your own pace with no specific date requirements
• Perfect for base building (to keep you consistent) or setting mileage goals
• Automatically syncs with most fitness trackers including Garmin and Apple Watch
• Environmental component: plants trees or removes ocean plastic as you progress
• Great for non-racers who still want to earn medals
• Options range from 20-mile beginner challenges to multi-thousand mile routes
• Any distance-based activity counts: running, walking, cycling, swimming

Hi Running Friends!

Today's episode is about plogging- "picking up" while "jogging". I participated in an event put on by The Boston Run Show in March with Tina Muir of "Running for Real". I started listening to Tina's podcast back in 2018, and since then she has evolved into an advocate for sustainable running and hosts plogging events around the country.

Hey Running Friends!

The Boston Run Show has transformed into an extraordinary event combining running with outdoor adventure at the massive Boston Convention Center. It featured running legends like Des Linden, Meb Keflezighi, and Laz Lake alongside innovative gear and community activities.

Give this episode a listen, and plan NOW to be there for next year. Those of us who are ambassadors just found out it will be held at The Royal Plaza Trade Center on February 28-March 1, 2026. This change of venue will allow for a better vendor experience, free parking and an outdoor space. The event space is 30 miles outside Boston in Marlborough, MA.

Make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter and following me on social media for free tickets to next year's show, which I give away from September right up to the event weekend.
