Century Challenge 2026

Lace up your shoes and defy the Wisconsin winter with the **Century Challenge 2026**, an inspiring virtual event designed to keep you motivated and moving throughout February and March. This unique challenge, returning for its 8th annual iteration, encourages runners and walkers in Stevens Point, WI, and beyond, to complete 100 miles of combined movement over two months. It's the perfect opportunity to stay active when central Wisconsin weather can be cold and unpredictable, with typical race day conditions seeing highs around 23F and lows around 6F, and only a 5% chance of precipitation.

The Point Forward Physical Therapy Century Challenge aims to combat the tendency to put running on the back burner during the colder months. Participants will track their progress in a custom spreadsheet provided before the challenge begins, helping to maintain accountability and visualize their achievements. While there isn't a traditional course with elevation or specific aid stations, the focus is on personal dedication to reaching the 100-mile goal wherever and whenever you choose to run or walk.

Upon successfully completing the 100-mile distance, participants will earn well-deserved swag bags, a tangible reward for their commitment to fitness during the challenging winter season. Join this uplifting community event from February 1st to March 31st, 2026, and transform your winter into an active and rewarding experience.
