Event Update! Teams have through Oct. 31 to reach finish line!

The Great American 5000 is a virtual team run from San Francisco to New York City—and everywhere in between! Assemble your crew of up to 12 or 24 people, accumulate mileage, and chip away at the 5,000k (3,107-mile) journey. An online map will track each team’s virtual progress across the country and a leaderboard will display the standings in real time, with groups in open, female, and co-ed divisions.

Your team has until September 14 to complete the 5,000k trek—that’s as few as 33.7 miles per day for your team (1.4 for each individual)! Run, walk, hike—it can all count towards your team's mileage.

You can even make your achievement mean more by donating and helping raise funds for Sports Backers, our official Race Charity.
