Run The Edge, the premiere organizers of virtual fitness challenges, are daring runners, hikers, cyclists, and swimmers to make their way across the United States in their 3,521-mile Amerithon Virtual Fitness Challenge. To mark the start of the country’s top multi-sport fitness challenge, Run The Edge is offering its first ever two-week free trial, the chance to win sunglasses from Goodr, and an opportunity to score the grand prize: an ElliptiGO MSUB.

Whether tackled by a single athlete or a team of up to eight, participants have the opportunity to experience an engaging journey throughout the USA to earn badges, an epic six-piece medal and bragging rights. Get It All registration gives participants access to an online tracker, 36 interactive flyover videos, a private Facebook Group, milestone badges, motivational email messages, a dazzling 6-Piece medal, wall map, passport with milestone stickers, and a tech shirt.
Plus, Amerithon athletes have the chance to win some fit and fun products. Both registered and free-trial participants who complete at least 1 mile of activity from Jul. 4-18 will be entered to win Goodr Sunglasses, the widely popular sunglasses trusted by active people everywhere. Participants who finalize their registration for the full challenge and who exercise at least 20 days in July will be entered to win an ElliptiGO MSUB, the ultimate cross-training tool built for off-road riding.
“We just love creating ways to make health and fitness fun,” said Adam Goucher, co-founder of Run The Edge. “Plus, you have a chance to win sunglasses and an ElliptiGO bike just for exercising? Sign me up!”
“It’s clear that people across the country are looking for creative ways to stay active,” said Bryce Whiting, vice president of sales and marketing for ElliptiGO. “The Amerithon challenge is a great opportunity to push yourself to new heights and change up your fitness routine with all kinds of activities. One lucky winner will be able to experience even more versatility with the MSUB, and reap the benefits of stand up cycling!”
