This summer (May 18 - August 26, 2024), MAHA will host our inaugural 10k 4 10k Challenge! Collectively, our youth hockey players will rollerblade, run, and/or walk 10,000 miles during the summer months to promote health and fitness while raising $10,000 for the local youth hockey programs. If you’re counting, that’s 100 miles per day for 100 straight days - a tall order for a single individual - but an attainable goal when taken on by a community!
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
Participant eligibility:
All Mid-South youth hockey players residing within a 100 mile-radius of Memphis, TN and who are eligible to participate in an 18U program or below during the 2024-2025 season.
Participation miles:
Only walking, running, and rollerblading miles will count during this event (sorry bikers).
Proof of miles will be verified using fitness applications (e.g., Apple Fitness, MapMyRun, etc.) and submitted weekly to MAHA.
The event will operate under an honor system, so please don’t cheat yourselves, your sponsors, or your fellow participants! Data manipulation will result in disqualification.
Registration:
Each participant must fill out the Participant Registration form below before May 18, 2024.
Each participant must find a sponsor(s) and direct them to fill out the Sponsor Registration form below.
Collection of Donations:
Donations will be collected by MAHA.
The Mid-South Amateur Hockey Association is a registered 501(c)(3) and will provide each sponsor with a charitable receipt for their contribution to Memphis-area youth hockey.
Prize Money:
The participants with the highest total miles in each age group on August 26, 2024 at midnight CST, will receive $500 towards qualified expenses for the 2024-2025 season (e.g., registration fees, tournament fees, etc.).
Age groups (based on 2024-2025 season eligibility):
8U
10U
12U
14U
18U
We will maintain a leader board here after registration closes for visibility and to track the groups progress.
Not all miles are created equal, so each mile will be calculated using the following multipliers:
Run: Total miles x 1.0
Rollerblade: Total miles x 0.75
Walk: Total miles x 0.5
