How to become a Summer Spartan, a person of great self-discipline...
The program consists of two key pieces. Point Collection and Honor Miles.
Point Collection
To collect points, check-in with FITVIL at the weekly workouts, special events and races. We will track your points and keep you updated on how you’re doing. These points will earn you discounts to use at Fleet Feet. Point collection is between Monday, June 11 and Monday, August 27
Honor Miles
YOU select a goal destination or miles that your feet will take you during YOUR foray. It’s your responsibility to keep track of your total mileage using the honors system. We provide a weekly log to help. But please use your Garmin, MapMyRun, iPhone or whatever works best for you. On the FREE online registration form please indicate the total distance you would like to cover this session. And then, being active on your own, and using all our group workouts and activities, track ALL your mileage run or walked between the start and end dates of the program which count towards your total! At the end of the program we’ll see how we all did in meeting our goals!
