QRS SUMMER SIZZLER 2021 (4 RACES)

4 RACE RUNNING SERIES

As we continue to practice physical distancing, Z Adventures & Trails Sport Events are pleased to introduce a new virtual fitness challenge comprising of a 4-race running series and a 30-day step challenge.  QRS Summer Sizzler is created to motivate and reward first time runners / walkers as well as seasoned athletes to continue training during the pandemic whilst maintaining self-isolation.  Being part of the challenge will ensure that your every run or walk count towards a target that is set by yourselves.  So if you’re happy with a few K’s a day, or training for a Half or Full Marathon, this challenge will provide a great incentive to achieve your goal. MAKE EVERY MILE COUNT!!!

HOW IT WORKSAthletes sign up for one or both challenges using the online form below.  Once registered, their details will be added to our database.  Athletes are free to run / walk anywhere in a socially-isolated place anytime during the 30-day period and record their time and distance using GPS / step counter.  For 30-day step challenge, throughout the month, athletes will populate the time and distance for each day.  Runners can also sign up to the Club Strava account where their daily runs will be automatically uploaded.  Strava would accept the link from most devices and phone apps.  Most runners use Nike+, Garmin, Fitbit and a host of other apps to record their progress.
