Every 6.6 miles you complete earns you a new gemstone milestone—a physical gemstone trophy and a digital badge for your collection. Your progress is tracked week to week, so you can stay motivated all summer long.

Gemstones aren’t just pretty—they’re redeemable for prizes in the near future, so be sure to collect them all!
