The ASICS Walk a Marathon in a Month Challenge

Challenge Details

A marathon sounds like a really long way, but spread out over 30 days, members participating in the ASICS and MapMyWalk.com Walk 26.2 Miles in a Month Challenge need to walk less than a mile per day to meet the goal!  The average American walks 1.5 miles per day, but for members just starting to exercise, a daily stroll of 0.87 miles – which will amount to a 26.2-mile marathon in 30 days – can put them on the path towards great health.

This flexible goal allows MapMyWalk.com members to compete against other participants by walking 26.2 miles in any 30-day period. The 30 days must be consecutive, but members need not walk every day.  Members can measure their success against other members. MapMyWalk.com provides participating members with the site’s tools, including walk mapping with elevation and distance, street and topographical map viewing, and workout logging.

MapMyWalk.com is currently adding sponsors for this challenge so that members who complete the goal can earn prizes!  Prizes will be awarded by randomly selecting from members who successfully complete the challenge.

MapMyWalk.com suggests that walking 0.87 miles per day may be the most effective way to meet this particular goal.  For members that want a schedule, however, MapMyWalk.com proposes the following simple schedule for success at walking 26.2 miles in 30 days:
