Daily Mileage: The Move 2026 in 2026 Challenge
How Many Miles Per Day Would I Need to Move?
One of the most common questions people ask is:
“If I join later in the year, is it still realistic?”
The answer is yes—as long as you remember this is a flexible, personal challenge. This table simply shows the average miles per day needed if someone starts at the beginning of each month in 2026 and aims for the full 2,026 miles by December 31.
These numbers are averages—not daily requirements. Some days you’ll do more, some days less, and some days none at all.

A Gentle Reminder
This challenge is about:
Movement over perfection
Progress over pressure
Connection over comparison
Many participants will:
Join late and aim for their own best, not the full 2,026
Set mini-goals (monthly, seasonal, or weekly)
Use this as motivation to move more than they otherwise would
Every mile counts—no matter when you start.
