Frequently Asked Questions
The heart behind WARHORSE Endurance Challenges™ is to give goal striving individuals mileage goals with rewards to aim for, as well as offering a positive and encouraging online community in our facebook group. For you it maybe the original goal of one horse, one rider 100 miles.
Or it can be walking. Walking alone, with family, with your dog or maybe with your very young, green, rehabbing or an elder horse a few miles per day until you reach 100 miles together.

LIMITED ENTRIES: What does this mean? Limited entries on a medal challenge indicates that there are only a set number of medals available for that particular challenge, and that once we reach that number, the entries will close.
​
How do I track my miles?
Whatever works best for you — whether it’s a notebook, a calendar, a journal, or a fitness app. There are many free mileage trackers available. I personally use the free Adidas Running app, but other popular options include Equilab, Strava, and Map My Run.

Once you've recorded your mileage, you can (though it's not required) also log your miles online by visiting the same page you signed up on. Just click “Results” and then “Submit Results.”

How do I turn in my mileage? WARHORSE 100 Mile Challenge is 100% honor based. If you say you did the miles, we believe you.
*However* we would really love to see you posting in the facebook group! Photos, screenshots of your miles, updates on how many miles to go & also videos are welcomed! We are here to cheer you on & there are many beautiful images shared there from riders across the United States as well as Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and Canada.

When do I get my medal? We start mailing medals from bib #1 as soon as they arrive at my office. Sometimes the custom items take longer to make, though I promise, they are always worth it. If you are overseas ie not in the USA and want to be invoiced for the shipping out of USA: Please Email me that you have, indeed, completed the Challenge and would like invoiced for out of country shipping:
​
The medals are ordered custom from higher end awards companies, and the shipping maybe delayed if we have modifcations to be made to our designs or we may at times have to wait in cue to have our products made, though I am always excited to get them mailed out to you and will do so as soon as I possibly can! It is the most fun part of my job at WARHORSE Endurance Challenges, getting to send out smiles for miles in the mail! The high quality embroidered patches, medals and more are shipped out from my office as soon as they get here, and they are beautiful.
​
Do you have an instagram for the Challenge so we can # hashtag the Challenge? We do! When you get your medal, please consider posting on facebook or instagram with
#warhorse100milechallenge #warhorse_endurance #rosebud100milechallenge #valkyrie100milechallenge or #ranger100milechallenge
​
If I live outside of the US can I get a medal?
As noted on the race sign up page, outside of the USA we could not afford shipping on a medal- it started as high as $38.00 per medal. SO, we have commissioned a beautiful embroidered patch in place of the medal if you don't want the added cost of shipping a meal. But, what if I REALLY want the medal... then email me at warhorse.endurance@gmail.com with you address, and I will look into the cost of shipping and email you back. If you are willing to pay the extra shipping, we can send you an invoice & ship your medal.

​
We have more than one horse, I wanted to sign up all three separately, though it will not let me. How can I do this? Why is this not letting me sign up more than once?
These virtual Challenges are basically a new thing to the horse world. This is one of the first of its kind. Thank you for wanting to support us and sign up for all your horses. The sign up website is designed for runners, so there would only ever be one runner in the same race. My suggestion is that you can use initials for additional horses, or the horse's name with your name, for example your horse's name is Champion; your name is Sara Jones. You could sign up the second horse under the name Champion Jones or SaraChamp Jones. Be creative, because the site will not allow more than what it perceives as the one runner into the same race twice. THOUGH ALSO right it down, as I cannot reset passwords or accounts.
​
Where is the free miles tracking log? It is listed under 'files' in the facebook group.
