Welcome to the 100,000 Steps Challenge—a race that’s not just hard, it’s borderline ridiculous! Think of it as the ultimate leg workout, a test of grit, and an excuse to eat an entire pizza at the finish line.
Covering over 80 km in a single day, translated as 2 marathons, it’s tough, sweaty, and likely to make you question every life decision. But trust us, crossing that finish line is one of the most satisfying feelings you’ll ever have.
Or if this is not your idea of how you want to spend your day May 4th, get a team together and join us at noon to walk a part of the course, together we will make the 25,000, 50,000, or 100,000 goal while chatting and having fun.
So lace up, hydrate, fuel up, and get ready to step (and maybe limp) your way to glory!
Where did this idea come from you may ask, well first you need some background on THE FOUNDERS.
Friends for over 20 years, Chris and Nico have always pushed each other to extremes. Whether it was surfing behind a boat, snorkeling, biking, running, skiing, or drinking scotch, they always pushed the limits. Having run over forty marathons, Nico shared this love of running with Chris.
Of course, they record all of their efforts with their watches and compete daily. “I see you ran 10 km today…pretty good, I did 15!”. During Covid, they completed a half marathon, biked 70 km, walked 15 km all in a quest to burn 10,000 calories in one day.
The 100,000 step challenge is the latest in a string of self-imposed ridiculous challenges.
One day at the beginning of December 2024, Nico had an inspiration about the next crazy adventure he would do with Chris.
Chris was often rambling on about his daily tens of thousands of steps, so Nico proposed the almost impossible 100,000 steps in a day. Chris was all in of course.
Two weeks later the dream became a reality on a cold windy December day, there was blood, there were tears, but they succeeded.
They were even joined by Chris’ daughter Sydney. Who, because she knew Chris & Nico were crazy and is the OG for the 50,000 step option that we are offering, for those who are smart, but still slightly crazy! …Sorry Syd!
Here’s a quick documentary of their trials and tribulations during that eventful day!
