Get Ready to Dash: Complete Your Holiday 12Ks with Echelon

As the holiday season approaches, Echelon invites all members to complete their holiday 4Ks with us in collaboration with the runDisney® Virtual 12Ks of Christmas! Whether you were able to sign up for the complimentary registration or are joining us as a festive alternative, this is your chance to dive into three 4K virtual races—from the treadmill to the track or trails—running December 1 to December 31, 2024. We’re excited to create fun, dynamic content for these classes, bringing all Echelon members together to stay active, spread holiday cheer, and make this a December to remember!

The 12Ks of Christmas Virtual Events includes

• Three (3) 4K Virtual Races: Choose the class that fits your current mile pace and complete your races at your own speed, on your favorite course, and at a time that suits you best. 
• On or Off-Equipment Classes:  Keep cozy with our instructors on your Stride, or bring them along into the crisp winter air with our audio-only sessions available on FitPass.
• Don’t Skip The Warm Up!: Races will begin at the top of each class, so be sure to take Ryn’s Warm Up 5 before each 4K race. 
• Cool Down: If you finish your race before class ends, use the remaining time for your cool down, or head over to the Cool Down 5 with Jama if you need more recovery.
• Exclusive Badge: As a special incentive, all members who complete these classes will receive a unique digital badge to commemorate their achievement! Share it with pride and showcase your commitment to fitness this holiday season.
• runDisney® Inspired Classes: Feel the excitement of race day as our instructors take you through a virtual runDisney® atmosphere, complete with motivating cues and energy!
