What is a Live Walk/Run like?
Imagine a group fitness class at your local gym. Charge is providing that same experience from the comfort of your own home or neighborhood. A dedicated running coach will keep you updated on your current pace, average pace, cadence, and distance, all in real time, all while you run along with other runners from all around the world, together in one class, all at the same time.
What if I can't make Saturday, May 22 or Sunday, May 23 at 10 AM?
If you can’t make it, no worries! We will post a link and email all participants our on-demand event, so you can participate after the 10 AM run for those who missed it so you can complete this Challenge or want to participate again for extra points.
Can I talk to others during the HIKE for HOPE Walk/Run?
With the integrated chat system, you will be able to communicate via text to the coach, as well as others who are in the LIVE event with you. Feel free to wish others well or encourage friends, congratulate others on a job well done, or just have a friendly conversation.
Is there an age requirement to participate in the 5K?
