Introducing the UA All Out Mile
Under Armour Challenges Runners To Achieve Their Fastest Mile in 30 Days.
GOING ALL OUT.
Under Armour is aiming to inspire thousands of runners around the world to come together as a community and get better - and this time including New Zealand! No matter what getting better means for you, this is a chance to connect with others and achieve your goals. The pandemic has proven to be challenging for all, but it has encouraged many runners, to become more active as compared to life before lockdown. As the pandemic has disrupted many runners’ training and routines, the UA ALL OUT MILE is here to help runners maintain routine by motivating and setting new goals.
WHY THE MILE?
The mile is accessible to runners of all abilities. Whether you're just getting started or have run countless races, the mile challenges the mind and body without beating up your legs. For the majority of runners, training for longer races can take a serious physical toll. The time and commitment to training for a longer distance event can prove to be a pretty hefty task. Although the mile is technically an endurance event, it is on the shorter end of the scale, and luckily, training for the mile looks very different and much more approachable. Most runners can improve their time with lower mileage weeks and shorter workouts
WHAT IS THE UA ALL OUT MILE?
The Under Armour All Out Mile is a challenge to improve your mile time with training plans and video tips provided by UA's professional athletes, coaches and Human Performance experts. Start by registering for the challenge. Then, automatically track all of your runs by linking your UA MapMyRun™ account on FitRankings. Set your benchmark mile and train from May 1 to May 31. Take advantage of the weekly training plans and video tips directly from Under Armour's professional athletes, coaches and Human Performance experts. During the UA All Out Mile competition period, go all out and crush your PR from June 1 through June 5. After completing your UA All Out Mile (you can try more than once), your results will automatically be pulled from UA MapMyRun™ and appear on the FitRankings leaderboard. See how you stack up against runners from around the world
MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES BETTER. Do you remember the pure joy of playing sports as a kid? Or the first time you put on a uniform as part of a team? That feeling is POWERFUL. Now, imagine not having those opportunities. 78% of low-income children won't experience that same joy or powerful moment due to the ever-growing list of barriers. At Under Armour, we believe sports are critical to youth development. As a result, we're dedicated to increasing access and opportunity for all young athletes. That's why we have committed to awarding the top team in the "Most Milers" (participants) UA AOM competition with a monetary donation of $10,000 USD back to a charity of their choice that focuses on increasing access and opportunity for all young athletes.
Sign up your local crew, club, or create a team for your social followers to support youth sports in your community. Make a team. Run your UA ALL OUT MILE. Make an impact.
