Members of Greater Rochester Running Club are invited to participate in the free, annual MILEStone Patch Challenge! Not a member? Sign up when prompted. This program replaced the previous manual process of emailing someone at the end of the year with all the races you did. However, for those who truly have difficulties with the new process, so long as you sign up before the end of the year, we will help with the end-of-year data entry. We will not accept paper copies or pictures of lists. About the Program Patches are earned based on the number of miles run or walked at in-person races for the whole of each year, January 1st to December 31st. You may use the running portion of a multisport event. Virtual races, untimed fun walks/runs, and training miles do not count. Although when you submit your results it's a button for submitting "virtual" results, that refers to the submitting the results for this virtual - as opposed to in-person - yearlong challenge, not to virtual races.
