We recorded 37,505 miles on Strava in 2018. This equates to more than 1 1/2 times around the earth. Congratulations to everyone that hit their goal and good luck in 2019. If your name is listed below, please send me a Message on Facebook or email me at Justin@machtenn.org with your shirt size.

I am considering some changes for next year. I may try to record monthly totals on the spreadsheet instead of just the annual total. Also, I am thinking about requiring that a person volunteers for the club in some way to receive the shirt next year (this could be hosting a group run, working at Oak Barrel or the Mach Tenn Triathlon or Tims Ford Deer Park Run or even directing a local 5K) I would love to hear any thoughts that you guys have. We will need to leave this on Strava for the ease of pulling the mileage each month.

As a reminder, you do need to be affiliated with the club to get your shirt as a reward at the end of the year. To see your results, click here.
