The GRIT 100 is a virtual Challenge to complete 100 standardized miles in November.

This is the official GRIT 100 activity conversion chart. Challengers will use this chart to convert their completed miles to “standardized miles,” which are the same as miles traveled by foot. This list includes all activities that can be used to completed the 100-mile goal for the Challenge.

The goal: complete 100 standardized miles in the month of November. That’s 30 days. Challengers can mix and match activities however they want.

*If a Challenger wants to complete the GRIT 100 by a mixing of running, rucking, swimming… they can, by converting appropriately.

*Or, a Challenge could just ruck the entire 100 miles.

This provides flexibility to people with specified training regimes and/or physical limitations. It also allows for every Challenger to ramp up the difficulty level dependent on their own strengths and weakness. This is YOUR event. It’s you against YOU!

Every Challenger that successfully completed the GRIT 100 will earn:

🪙 a unique GRIT 100 Challenge coin.
🪖 a Collectable GRIT 100 Dog Tag
📜 a official, hard copy GRIT 100 Certificate of Completion
