Pony Express 1900 Mile Challenge

Due to new interest we are reopening the Pony Express 1900 Mile Challenge. This is an honor based mileage challenge. Ride, walk, run, bike or hike (or carriage drive) to reach your 1900 miles. There is no set time limit to earn your miles. You may log your miles online with us, or you in a notebook or app. We have an honor based system. We do NOT count daily steps. This has to be on purpose, set aside time to COVER MILES. Walk a mile a day if you wish, or combine all the miles of riding and walking/running/biking hiking. This challenge was created to provide encouragement and support for on purpose, forward movement under either your own muscle power or your horses- or with your K9 best friend running along with you! There is a $65.00 entry fee for this multi year event that includes a limited edition PONY EXPRESS 1900 Mile Patch, limited edition PONY EXPRESS 1900 Mile sticker, a commemorative lapel pin and the completion medal that is a belt buckle! (sorry, we cannot ship buckles overseas unless you pay additional shipping). The buckle/medal is the same medal quality as the medals in the 100 Mile Challenges. This may be the longest virtual attempted to date for the horse world! In addition, $5.00 of the entry fees will be donated to the National Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph Museum by WARHORSE Endurance. As I attempted to gather information on this route, it became so evident to me that unless some one has the clear mission to preserve this unique piece of history, it truly could fade into dust, as I have found, so much of it has! THIS IS A MULTI-YEAR Challenge, you have as long as you need to complete it. ON THE RESULTS PAGE- IF YOU CLICK ON YOUR NAME THE MAP OF THE PONY EXPRESS ROUTE WILL APPEAR AND SHOW YOU YOUR PROGRESS! ONLY the 500 participants who signed up for this event when it was origninally opened have their name on a plaque that will be displayed in the Pony Express Museum. The plaque is on display at the National Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph,
