The M43 Miles Challenge is an annual fitness initiative designed to engage our entire membership base to get active and reach a meaningful fitness milestone. Participants are invited to walk, run, hike, or ruck a total of 43 miles during the month of May, creating a fun and achievable goal to help shake off the winter months and build a healthy routine. The challenge is also a big social media event within our community, as members from across the globe share their progress throughout the month on Strava and social media. Seeing everyone’s dedication and achievements inspires others and fosters camaraderie, making it a powerful way to stay connected and motivated. Whether you’re an experienced runner or just starting out, the M43 Miles Challenge offers a flexible way to improve fitness, connect with others, and celebrate a shared commitment to wellness.
To participate in the M43 Miles Challenge, you must be a Mission43 member, whether you are a military veteran, military spouse, or a civilian supporter. We encourage all challenge participants to support other members on social media, joining us for a group run, and giving kudos on Strava.
