What Is the Ray Endurance Challenge?
We invite you to participate in at least 4 out of our 8 events taking place this year. Once you have completed 4 out of the 8 events, you’ll automatically qualify for the 2026 challenge medal! We are still working on the design, but it’ll be one you don’t want to miss out on! Below is a list of our 2026 events.

When will medals be available?
Medals for the 2026 Ray Endurance Events Challenge will be available for pick up at the 2027 Griffith Park Resolution Run (packet pick up and race morning). You may also pick up your medal at any of our other events (packet pickup and race morning) up until August 2nd. The Run LA 10 Miler is the last event at which your medal can be collected if you completed the challenge the previous year. This will allow us time to tabulate all the 2026 runners who qualify as soon as our 8th and last event of the year has taken place! If you qualify, you’ll receive an email in late December with further instructions!
