Here's what you need to know:

What is the SaltStick x Fleet Feet Strava Challenge?

It’s a virtual challenge hosted on Strava, running from July 7 to July 20, 2025. Participants must complete one 5K run during the challenge period to qualify for rewards.

How do I join the challenge?

Participants must have a Strava account. You can search for “SaltStick Challenge” in the Strava app or visit the Strava Challenges page to join. You can also get to the challenge directly by clicking HERE. It’s free and open to everyone!

Do I need to have a public Strava account to participate?

You can participate whether or not your Strava account is Public. If you have a Private account, the only impact you may see is not being on the leaderboard due to the privacy settings on your activities.

What do I get for completing the challenge?

Everyone who completes the challenge will receive instructions via Strava to claim a free SaltStick sample pack — a great way to try our convenient, fast-absorbing electrolytes.

Is there a grand prize?

Yes! One lucky participant will win a $5,000 Fleet Feet shopping spree, paid for by SaltStick. The winner will be chosen at random from all verified finishers who submit the entry form — you'll see details on how to submit in the Strava app once you complete the challenge.

Does it cost me to enter?

Nope — it’s free!
