40/40 NOW: May 13 - June 21, 2026 Creating Balance in an Ultra World Presented by AdventureCORPS®, the masterminds behind Badwater® We invite you to join us for a very special, first of its kind, 40-Day Life Adventure that you can do anywhere on Planet Earth! 40/40 NOW is a 40-day program which can serve many purposes: - Cross-Training for Sport, and for Life - Celebrate the Summer Solstice as your Best Self - For Athletes: Sharpen your Body and Mind for the Summer Racing Season - An Adventure in Life 40 / 40 NOW is open to anyone and everyone! (While we are the people behind the world-wide series of BADWATER® Ultramarathons, this opportunity is for anybody looking to head into summer as their very best self.) Duration: 40 Days, from Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, June 21. (The 2026 summer solstice is on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 1:25 AM, Pacific Daylight Time.) Why 40 Days? 30 Days Creates a Habit, but a 40 Day Effort is a Transformative Spiritual Odyssey. What Is the 40/40 Path? How does it work? What's involved? The core of this challenge is completing 40 minutes of intentional movement activities in the AM, and 40 minutes in the PM. - One must be strength and/or flexibility oriented. Think weightlifting, yoga, stretch class, dance class, or martial arts. (This can be done at a gym or fitness studio, but also on your own at home, following DVDs or YouTube classes.) - The other 40-minute activity will be cardio-oriented. Think running, walking, hiking, bicycling, skating, or swimming. (For participants who already run or bike well over 40 minutes per day, we recommend pursuing a different sport for this 40-minute cardio activity.) Additionally, each participant will check-In daily in the Strava Club: Given that participants will be all over the world, each morning (Pacific Time) we will post a “Daily Check-In!” reminder in the Strava Club: Every participant will comment to tell us what they did – and perhaps learned – that day after their PM activity.
