FAQ's
Q: If I register in June 10th, will the miles that I accrued in May count?
A: Sure! All miles logged between May 1st and July 4th are "patch eligible."
Q: Do I need proof of my mileage?
A: This challenge is based on the honor system. No need to send us proof.
Q: Which trails count toward my 100 miles?
A: Any trails in North Park! Please visit our Where We Run page for trailhead information! (Bushwhacking miles with Mark Knapp are fully eligible)
Q: What do I do when I've completed my 100 miles?
A: Celebrate! If you decide to post photos on social media, be sure to tag your photos! #GetYourPatchOn #NPTRPatch. If you are not on social media and you wish to let us know you finished, we'd love to hear from you. Send us an email.
Q: When can I get my patch?
A: Patches may be picked up at our July 4th NPTR Birthday Event or at an NPTR Group Run. As a last resort, we will mail your patch to you.
Q: Normally NPTR events are free. Why am I paying $6 for this one?
A: Good question! All proceeds for this event (minus shipping costs if you opt to have your patch mailed) go to The Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. Low-income communities are more likely to be exposed to the coronavirus and have higher mortality rates. Families and individuals who were food-insecure before the pandemic are suffering exponentally during this time of crisis. NPTR would like to help our community in this unprecedented time of need.
