Does your school

have what it takes?

Register your team. Challenge your rivals.  Win a national title.

Your school. Your teachers. Your crown.
Every school that participates gets on the national leaderboard. The school with the most participants on October 10th wins the National School Spirit Award — and the bragging rights that come with it. Any school. Any city. Any size. The playing field is effort, not enrollment.
Four steps to the national title.
 
Any school anywhere in the country can enter. In-person teams join a city race. Virtual teams run from home. Everyone competes on the same national leaderboard.
