The Chargers Challenge is a program designed to provide guidance, incentive, and long-term motivation to runners and walkers through awards and recognition. Anyone who walks or runs, of any age or physical ability, is welcome to participate. Participants do not have to be members of the Syracuse Chargers Track Club.

Program Rules, Awards and Entry Fees

All Challenge Programs require an application and entry fee. Applicants receive a log sheet for recording dates and miles run or walked, along with instructions and Guidelines for New Runners. When a participant's mileage reaches each award level, log sheets must be submitted for awards. Participant's achievements are recognized in the Syracuse Chargers Track Club Newsletter.

Three levels of participation are available: (click on the underlined title to see more)

2. The Family Challenge - where family members combine the mileage for a common goal;

3. The Charger 500 Mile Challenge - aimed towards junior or senior participants, those new to a running or walking program, or those with physical limitations.
