Riverboats, bayous, blues, and big skies?

The Mississippi River Virtual Challenge hits every note.

Take on a journey down the United States’ legendary waterway. Think winding river paths, historic towns, delta sunsets, and the unmistakable character of the Deep South.

Complete the challenge and earn a medal marked with the river’s legendary symbols!

Choose the distance that matches how you want to take on the river:
  • 383 mi (617 km) — ideal for walkers and runners
  • 2290 mi (3685 km) — the full-river route for cyclists
Every walk, run, or workout you log — or track automatically — moves your avatar forward on the map.

Help the environment

We will donate toward planting a tree or stopping 10 bottles from entering the ocean for every 20% of the challenge you complete.

There's no extra work or cost for you — just make sure you keep exercising!

By the end of the challenge, you will have planted 5 trees or have stopped 50 bottles from entering the ocean. Imagine what we can achieve as a community!

So far, we have planted over 7 million trees and stopped the equivalent of 14 million plastic bottles from reaching the ocean.
