Each year’s running season can feel like a marathon of opportunities, each 5K invitation appearing like a baton in a relay, passed from one runner to the next. One visionary runner, Kayla Jeter, decided it was time to chart a different course. She envisioned a space that celebrated the joy of movement throughout the running season, free from the pressure of the stopwatch.

Enter 100MilesofSummer. The mission? To harness the power of walking, jogging, running, and rolling as vehicles for better health. In no time, the 100MilesofSummer challenge has laced up its shoes and sprinted into the hearts of enthusiasts everywhere, creating a community where pace setters and peace seekers alike can find their stride.

Each summer, we challenge our community of aSweatLife Ambassadors to lace up and achieve their running goals. We’re so in step with that mission that we’re racing to join the 100MilesofSummer bandwagon this year. We can’t imagine a better way to spend the summer.

We’re pumped about the goal to run, walk, roll or even prance through 100 miles over the summer months. Covering just over 8 miles a week gives everyone an achievable marker. Fancy walking two miles a day, four days a week? You’re on the right track. Keen to switch on your tracking app during your daily commute? We’re cheering for you. Or maybe mix some walk/runs into your routine? Pull on your sneakers, grab a buddy, and seek out your nearest run club (don’t worry, they’re as welcoming as a water station).

Here’s What’s Racing Your Way:

• April 30 – Digital Kick-Off with Kayla Jeter: Don’t miss our live digital start line where you can join Kayla Jeter herself! Tune in live, ask your burning questions, and share a laugh over her wild tales from the track and trails. Mark your calendar and RSVP here.
• Event Appearances: Spot us supporting and sprinting at events throughout Chicago.
• Group Runs: With 100MilesofSummer meet-ups now stretching across over 6 cities in the U.S. and beyond, it’s more connected than ever. No matter where you join from, you’re part of the pack. Watch for additional group run/walks popping up with the help of aSweatLife Community leads in select markets.
