The MileSplit Virtual Classic is in full swing.
While your high school season may be delayed -- or for some, outright canceled -- we want to give you the opportunity to test your fitness or strength with a challenge. We're bringing you an online competition where we'll track your efforts over nearly two months of effort.
Our competition will include sprints, mid-distance, distance, throws and jumping events and we'll make sure to keep you honest by updating a weekly national leaderboard of the challenge's top performer. We can't stress enough: BE SMART, BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE, and follow all state and federal guidelines while you are outside.
- Launch Date: April 6 (You must submit a performance that was completed on this date or later)
- Final Submission Date: May 31 (You must submit a performance that was completed before this date or on it.)
