Calling all Chicago runners! I have an amazing and fun opportunity for a winter running challenge with Nike starting next week… the Nike+ Chiberia Challenge.

The challenge: Run 70+ miles in 13 days {between December 8th and midnight on December 21st}, logging all miles in the Nike+ app. Miles can be logged either outdoors or inside. Five teams are participating, with fifteen runners on each team. There are fantastic prizes available, including a Nike Flash running jacket for the first runner to reach 70 miles. The winning team is the first where all runners reach 70 miles. Winning team members will receive a pair of Nike Flash running shoes! My team is capped at fifteen runners, and spots are first come, first serve.

How to Sign Up:

1. Register for a free Nike+ account and download the app.
2. Sign up for my team here.
3. Add Nike Chicago on the Nike+ running app, by Monday the 8th.
4.  Accept the Chiberia Challenge on the app {released on Monday}.
5. Run your heart out!

There is a kick-off event happening on Monday evening, December 8th, at the Nike Running store in Bucktown, at 6:30 pm. All team members will run together to start the challenge on the right foot. If you can’t make it, no worries – log miles on your own using the Nike+ app! What better way to run off a few {dozen} cookies this season?

{Disclosure: In exchange for participating as a Team Captain for the Nike+ Chiberia Challenge, I will receive free running gear for outdoor running. Thank you for supporting Chicago Jogger!}
