2020, while many things, will be the year we learn to get creative in our search for forward momentum.
Introducing Call to Adventure — an initiative to dedicate ourselves to something larger than our daily runs, as well as to inspire and motivate one another to think outside the box and tackle new adventures in our own backyard...literally or figuratively.
Here's what to do
Come up with a challenging, but doable, endurance adventure (whatever that means for you personally - it could be 1 mile, it could be 100 miles) and commit to completing it by midnight on Halloween, October 31.
Bonus: By participating you'll be entered to win a $250 Janji giftcard.
We’ll be sharing community updates, photos, highs and lows, as we tackle these challenges and keep our heads and spirits lifted together.
More details below.
How to Participate
Check out some examples.
Qualifying Criteria
- Must be within distance of your locale (minimal travel involved).
- It's got to be outside your home, no stationary movement.
- Get creative, no traditional race format (i.e. 5k or half marathon).
- All modes of human-powered movement accepted, including a combo of the following: run, trek, hike, climb, bike, swim, paddle or ski.
- It should be tough but doable (it's meant to be a challenge after all!)
- It should require some training and/or preparation; this is about the process as much as the end result!
- “Completion” of the endurance challenge is the goal, it's not about a certain time or pace.
- Must be completed by the stroke of midnight on All Hallows Eve, October 31, 2020.

Ski to Sea
A couple members of Janji Collective recently ran the Ski to Sea course in northern Washington. The 93-mile route starts at an elevation of 4,300 feet and finishes at sea level. While the Janji crew made a few route adjustments to accommodate an all-running challenge, the traditional race incorporates multiple modes of movement; ski, bike, kayak, etc. For your adventure, you can stick to running or feel free to mix it up!

Document it!
