Contact us for more information or contact your district to see if funding support is available. 

Top FAQs: 

• • I’m moving to a new school within my district or a new one in a different district. How do I keep running 100 Mile Club? It’s exciting when teachers and coaches who’ve moved schools continue 100 Mile Club at their new site! We are here to help you transition.
    • Please contact us by phone at (951)340- 2290 or email at [email protected], and a Program Specialist will contact you. 
    • If you have a new coach ready to take over running your program, please use this form to update your information. 
    • NOTE: You can also update account information yourself in our store. This gives you immediate access to your updated account.
  • How do we track miles? For every school in our program, mile tracking is slightly different. Some methods range from very low-tech to the highest high-tech. It is important to pick the method that works best for you. Check out our Program Guide, Chapter #5, for more ideas. 
  • How to order incentive packages for school? You can order your incentives online through our new web store! Log in with the same ‘Head Coach’ email address you used to register your school, and you will see a special ‘Coaches Only’ section of the store. All your incentives and program materials will be available to purchase. 

• How many times do coaches place orders throughout the year?
• • Coaches can place as many orders throughout the year as necessary.
  • We encourage you to place your order in time to immediately reward your students with their 25 Mile Signature T-shirt when their goal is reached. Many schools open registration to their students monthly, placing orders as needed. Shipping and Handling charges apply.
  • Plan ahead and receive bulk ordering discounts when possible!
  • Ordering is available year-round. There are no cutoff dates, but the 100 Mile Club color cycle begins July 1 and ends June 30 of each year, after which the color for that year is no longer available.
• Can I join 100 Mile Club myself if I am a parent/teacher? Absolutely! We encourage parents and teachers to join 100 Mile Club and run or walk with your participants. Many of our most successful programs have achieved such a level of energy because of the support, participation, and collaboration of the parent/teacher with the program.
