This is an amazing race! The Texas Distance Challenges offers a variety of choices from different run distances, to cycling, to monthly run distances "Detours". I signed up for the Detours, which consists of a one monthly run distance for you to complete that can be done any time before the race ends in April. Each month you get an email with the distance, where it is located in Texas, and links and blogs about that area. Through the blog and links I found out about many small businesses in Texas and areas I never knew about. It's a great way to explore an unfamiliar area without leaving your home. The monthly runs are around 3 miles to 6 miles and anything in between, this is great as you can knock out your monthly Detour without being worn out or making a large impact to your training.
Once you complete a detour, you can log in and manually enter your time and date or link your strava and select the run you want to sync. It's very user friendly and easy to do, which does result in you receiving a decal for each of the Detours you complete! I can't wait to complete more as the race winds down in the Spring of 2021.
