M43 Miles Challenge
The M43 Miles Challenge invites Mission43 members from across the globe to walk, run, hike, or ruck 43 miles in the month of May.
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.
