PLUTO King of the Kuiper Belt - Running and Walking Challenge


PLUTO King of the Kuiper Belt - Running and Walking Challenge Race Description

 

How far will your feet take you in 2022?

For the past ten years we have chosen a different planet to race to as a group.  When we first started the journey, Pluto was still considered a planet, and we plan to honor the underdog, and keep our commitment to journey to Pluto! We are looking for runners, walkers, and joggers of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels to join us for our PLUTO: King of the Kuiper Belt - Running and Walking Challenge! As a group, our goal is to log enough miles to get to Pluto. Log your miles and they will be added to our total miles as a group. Let’s log enough miles to get there! It’s a 3.1 billion mile journey, so we need your help! We'll do our best to get there, but the most important thing is how many miles YOU move! Thousands of people worldwide have joined the challenge. Will you? When you sign up you are given a discount code to use all year (in 2022) to save 25% on ALL of our 2022 events!

SET A GOAL FOR 2022!

When you sign up you choose a goal for how many miles you'll run/walk in 2022. You can choose:

100 Miles

500 Miles

750 Miles

1000 Miles

1500 Miles

2022 Miles

What will your goal be for 2022?

Packages will start shipping out at the end of November 2021! After that they will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up!

 

FULL FLEDGED participants will receive:

Official Pluto tech T-Shirt
Pluto Welcome Letter
Pluto Participant’s Medal
25% off all of our virtual races for 2022!
Your own personal mileage log on our website.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. You sign up and set a goal for how many miles you will run/walk in 2022 and which ranking you will achieve.

2. During the year you log your miles on our website. You’ll move up the rankings as you reach your goal.

3. Along with achieving your personal goal, all of your miles contribute to our grand total of miles to get to Pluto!

4. Be part of our Moon Jogger community and connect with members around the world.

Giving Back

Each year we choose a different charity to donate a portion of the registration fees from our virtual races. This year we have chosen one of our favorites, SOLES4SOULS!

Help us donate $100,000!

Our goal is to donate $100,000 to Soles 4 Souls by the end of 2022! See how much we’ve already raised HERE!

See You On PLUTO

Tracking System needs an update

I love being able to participate in these virtual runs and it helps me with my motivation for exercise. I just wish the tracking system and how we put mileage into the system was easier to use.

Need a better tracking system

Race standings should be sorted based on how many miles you are racing - not all lumped together - so you can see your standing amongst those racing the same distance as yourself. Should be allowed to upload more than one photo per day. I get miles in several times a day.

Review On:2022-01-26 10:35:52
Tracking system needs work

The tracking system for this race is better designed for a single entry race. It is far too cumbersome to enter in daily results. Go to the race page, click on log in, then have to re-selct the race, then click on submit results. Put in your miles and time, but can't select date, it automatically assumes today. Get a page with your results but you can't edit them there. Go back to the entry page, find what you just entered (you have to refresh the page if you used the back button to get there instead of going through the multiple steps to get there in the first place) , select to edit the result, and now you can update the date. This isn't the first year they've done a multi-entry race like this one, so there isn't really an excuse for not having a more user friendly entry system.

Review On:2022-09-08 19:33:02
Great Motivation!!

I needed 'something' to give me a little extra motivation and this was the ticket! I started with Moon Joggers back when the lockdowns began with the Great Toilet Paper Challenge, Soles4soles is such a worthwhile cause...I am originally from an area of the States where certain people have actually asked me if I owned shoes! Now, I like going barefoot as much as the next person, but come on...aren't those stereotypes a little cliché these days?? After all, it is 2022, in the United States for goodness sakes! Cheers to all my fellow moon joggers! I hope we make it! Personally, I have been advised to never run again, soooooo, I am taking my time and walking! (Last time I ran, I ended up in the hospital!) Since that hospitalization, I have lost in excess of 175 pounds, with still more to go, but I shall endeavor to persevere to my goal weight!

Fun

I find it easy to submit my monthly miles. I like that I can either run or walk, which usually is a combination of the two anyway. I love that it's different from other races where it is certain amount of miles for the event, while this one is for the year.

It's always to have goals no matter how young, or old you are. These races are my fitness goals to keep me walking every day for as long as I can.

Unable to submit results

I thought I had until the last day of 2022 to me submit results. Not so. I can only review and not submit. I was using the Under Armour App to track my milage and was going to enter my semiannual milage. Oh well. I know better for next year, Earth Exploration

Everything was great except the shirt

The medal and the Bib were amazing. Very proud to have contributed. I would love to also wear the shirt with pride, except I was sent a Woman' Extra Small, however I ordered a Men's 3 Extra Large. I have emailed twice already and have not heard anything back. This would be a 5 otherwise

Just 10%

Fun idea, but we came no where near getting 31,000,000 miles in. I think an extension might have been fun. Love the graphics, adding one more column to the database, that shows recent logins would be fun to see.

It motivated and gave me some hope to keep going and try again when I fail. It was encouraging to be doing something for myself.
