DESCRIPTION
JOURNEY 100 Mile Challenge has a medal that has incorporated into it the art from the previous challenges we offered.  The medal is a compass and the horses portion of this medal spin around the compass.  As part of this artwork you will notice the traditional WARHORSE running, the VALKYRIE flying and the Pony Express rider all on the same medal.  The neck ribbon for this challenge is 48 inches and is designed to fit around a horse's neck.  We also are including a lapel pin and the ever popular embroidered patch. 

This medal artwork was commissioned specifically for the JOURNEY 100 Mile Challenge, this medal is one of a kind.  Shipping is included for this medal, like the other challenges, though is only available to ship in the USA at this price.  Overseas participants will have a patch & the option to pay additional shipping overseas.  I am happy to ship overseas, though this will be at an additional invoice for cost of shipping to your location if outside of the USA. 
 
We learned from the most recent two challenges that many or most of you also wanted the patch.  We heard you.  When you join the JOURNEY 100 Mile Challenge, for your completion, you will be getting the medal with horse sized neck ribbon, a lapel pin and the 3 inch, medal-shaped logo patch with your entry!

 For overseas participants you will be receiving the embroidered patch and the lapel pin.   So, if you noticed a price increase, it was because we are trying to make you happy by offering the patch and lapel pin to go with the medal!  


TRACKING MILES

Tracking miles online with run sign up is an option!  You can track in a notebook if you'd like, or an app made for tracking miles!  Then email me at warhorse.endurance@gmail.com to let me know you have finished the challenge!  What we really want is to see photos, mileage screenshots and hear your journey on our facebook group!   WARHORSE Endurance Conditioning Challenge  

 

Sign up

Sign up, track your miles on your horse at your own pace and become part of one of the most encouraging mileage programs in the world!  Journey was designed to celebrate and complete the the series of WARHORSE Endurance 100 Mile Challenge Series of Medals.   We believe that has all been brought together in this medal.  We will also be offering a winter challenge after this one, RELENTLESS (for those of us in North America, it will be a winter challenge) though it will be a slightly different challenge.  

Thank You for Your Support!!!

Thank you for joining us on our JOURNEY with these 100 Mile Challenges we appreciate you!  While there is not a specific charity for this challenge, we will be using the $ from this challenge to hire artists and to pre-order medals/patches/pins for the following year in hopes we have enough support to keep these challenges going.

 

A question I get often:

What will be the next challenge after JOURNEY?  Will there be one?   Yes, the answer to that is RELENTLESS. 

 

RELENTLESS

The next challenge will be named RELENTLESS, although it will not be 100 miles, it will be a fundraiser for Operation Underground Railroad.
