How will COVID 19 (Coronavirus) affect the Challenge?
It will not. This is a Virtual Challenge, so participants will not have to be in the same location as each other. The Challenge can be completed in any Clime and Place, even a treadmill.

Is there a limit on how many people can be on my team?
No, your team can be as large or small as you want it to be. Participants can also complete the Challenge alone, if they prefer.
