Ewing Virtual Challenge Update

June 3, 2026

Our Walk/Run of 250 Miles to Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday!

Ewing’s 250 Mile Virtual Challenge participants are moving, and we can feel their energy. Our mostly delightful spring weather has galvanized participation. Of our active participants, 10 have already crossed our virtual finish line of 250 miles with totals ranging from 254+ to 677+ miles! And there are a number of up and comers right behind them ready to add to our tally of successful finishers. Congratulations to everyone who’s running, walking, or biking! (Find our 2026 participants and official results.)

Of course, the race needn’t end at 250 miles as those who have crossed our virtual finish line have already demonstrated, and it isn’t too late to sign up. It’s a great time to get outdoors and build healthy habits. So, we invite you to join in and celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime milestone with us.

Hit the canal path, your favorite Ewing park, the treadmill, or your neighborhood sidewalk. Every mile brings us all closer to honoring America's incredible journey since 1776.

In that vein, the Ewing Green Team also invites you to log a few more miles by “Riding the Revolution” with them at their annual Fall Spin, entitled in honor of our 250^th anniversary, Ewing 250: Crossroads of the Revolution Bike Ride. The event will occur on Saturday, September 26^th and riders will retrace Washington’s historic Christmas march from Washington Crossing to Trenton. This will be a 18+ mile round trip with police escort, guest speakers, rest stops and refreshments along the way. The first part of the ride may be challenging for inexperienced riders, so we encourage you to get out this summer and prepare for our event. Learn more at https://ewinggreenteam.org/ewingfallspin/.

For those yet to join in, there is still plenty of time to reach 250 miles. Participation is FREE and our 250 for 250 Challenge is a virtual walk/run/bike, entirely on the honor system.

What is a Virtual Race?

A virtual race is a race that can be run (or walked or biked) from any location you choose and on any dates that you choose within the given time frame. You can run, jog, walk, or bike on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym or on the track (or even at another race). You get to run your own race, at your own pace, and time it yourself. Run, walk, or bike on your own, or with friends! Challenge yourself to complete the 250 miles across 2026!

Then submit your results on our race page any time within 2026. Our race page will keep your tally for you, as well as display your standing along with fellow participants.
