What is Miles For Smiles?

The Miles For Smiles Virtual Challenge was born during COVID as a way to bring people together—no matter where they are—through movement, joy, and a shared cause. This annual event blends fitness, fun, and fundraising to support the incredible work of Theresa’s Battleship Foundation.

The challenge is simple: do something that makes you smile and gets you moving. Whether you prefer running, walking, swimming, biking, skateboarding, or rollerblading, you set your own pace and goals. With no strict distance requirements, this event is for everyone; from seasoned athletes to those just starting their fitness journey. Best of all, you can participate from anywhere in the world, making it a unique opportunity to stay active while connecting with others and making a difference.

Past participants have taken on everything from playing 18+ holes of golf to climbing mountains in Norway. Over the event weekend, participants share their activities and progress on social media, fostering a sense of community and inspiration.

In addition to individual participation, Fundraising Teams add a spirited, social aspect to the challenge. Groups—often themed—have included office teams, rollerblade squads, strength training groups, and collegiate and high school sports teams. Many teams organize in-person events such as group runs, field days in city parks, or local meetups.

Since its inaugural year in 2021, the challenge has welcomed over 2,000 participants globally and raised over $125,000. Now in its 5th year, the Miles For Smiles Virtual Challenge continues to bring people together, one smile and one step at a time.
