REGISTER

You must run a 5k and submit a time with photo/screenshot proof of the distance and time during the month of September to qualify for the Austin Distance Challenge.

To submit your times/days/miles/GPS art before September ends, just log in on this website and either select “Submit Run Times…” under the 2020 Virtual Activities menu dropdown, or go to Manage My Page under your name/icon. From there you can submit times/days/miles/art and photo/screenshot documentation to the challenge or challenges you’ve chosen to compete in via the buttons for each activity. 

All virtual run registrants will also receive a personal fundraising page and are invited to raise money for children who've been abused or neglected. You can even win prizes!

New! Kids Race Certificate

Since we can't give out medals to every kid who runs this year, we've created a fun race certificate you can print, complete, sign and frame for your kids who participate in one of the running challenges!

What is the Austin Distance Challenge?

The Austin Distance Challenge is a series of the most prestigious local running events starting in the fall and leading up to the Austin Marathon & Half Marathon in February. The races increase in distance as the series progresses, making the series a natural component of many Austin runners’ training. In its 23rd year, the Distance Challenge is hosted by the Austin Runners Club (a 45 year old local nonprofit). Participants sign up for the series, registering for either the Full or Half Track to compete against personal goals and for awards for Overall, Masters and Age Groups. Participants can register on the Austin Distance Challenge website for all 6 races, and then register separately for each race. You must participate in the CASA Superhero Run 5K Virtual Race if you're thinking about doing the rest of the challenge! The full 2020-2021 race series includes: CASA Superhero Run 5K, New! Daisy 10K, Run for the Water 10-Miler, Decker Challenge Half Marathon, 3M Half Marathon, and the Austin Marathon & Half Marathon.
