50 Miles in 50 Days Challenge Returns June 8
Our annual swim challenge kicks off on June 8, and if you’ve participated before, the format will feel very familiar.
Swim 50 miles in 50 days and you’ll be entered into a drawing for prizes from TYR, along with a few other goodies we may have up our sleeves. Anyone is welcome to participate, but the top 3 prizes will be reserved for registered Mackinac Island Swim participants.
Since this is the 6th year of the Mackinac Island Swim, we’re adding a little bonus challenge:
Complete a 6-mile swim (pool or open water) during the challenge and earn a bonus entry into the prize drawing.
Just one bonus entry, though. Otherwise, some of our hard-working (slightly crazy) friends would swim 6 miles every day and ruin the fun for everyone else.
To participate:
• Join our Strava group: Swim 8.2
• Record your swims between June 8 and July 28
• Have fun and stay consistent
We’d also love to see your progress in the Facebook group. Share your swims, photos, milestones, and stories along the way. One of the best parts of this challenge is watching everyone put in the work and cheering each other on.
Let’s make this our biggest year yet.
