Walmart 100: Spend Less. Run More.<\/p><\/div>\n

Challenge goals<\/h3>\n

The goal of the Walmart 100 challenge is to run 100 miles (or more), unsupported<\/a>, and as cheaply and fast as possible. To do so, you will purchase everything you need for this challenge at a Walmart store of your choice. Yes, everything. Imagine \u2014 but don’t do this \u2014 you’re walking naked into a Walmart to purchase everything you need to run 100 miles. You will then run a 100-mile route of your choice with the gear and calories you bought. No external support will be allowed. Once you complete the challenge (successfully or not), everything you bought shall be donated to a good cause.<\/p>\n

Steps involved in the Walmart 100 challenge: (1) Park at a Walmart of your choice. (2) The clock starts when you enter the store. (3) Shop for all the things you need to run unsupported 100 miles. (4) Change in your car (or in the Walmart bathrooms). (5) Run 100 miles without any external support. You choose you own route. (6) The clock stops when you are back at the Walmart front door.<\/p><\/div>\n
