Winter in the Waves – Winter Wander – So. Cal Edition
October 17 – December 31, 2026
While everyone else is bundled up inside, you’ll be finishing strong in the sunshine. Southern California doesn’t do winter the same way — and neither do you.
Winter Wander is the grand finale of the 2026 West Coast Challenge, sending you out on a high note through palm-lined streets, coastal paths, and warm December air.
This is your chance to close out the year with miles logged and medals earned.
75 days. Sun, sand, and a finish line waiting for you.

The Full West Coast Challenge
OUR MOST FLEXIBLE CHALLENGE EVER!
Three iconic regions. One unforgettable adventure.
Pack your rain jacket, your wine opener, and your flip-flops — you’re gonna need all three.
The 2026 West Coast Challenge takes you from the misty evergreens of the Pacific Northwest, through the rolling vineyards of Wine Country, to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California. Explore the entire West Coast with Full Send Challenges in 2026.
Participate in all three challenges to earn the complete set of interlocking medals.
Each challenge lasts 75 days, giving you a clear, trackable way to stay motivated and measure your progress throughout the year.
The goal is simple: finish 100% of your distance on the last day of the challenge — not before.
On day one of each challenge, you will choose your distance goal. As the challenge progresses, you’ll have the freedom to adjust your goal up if you’re outpacing your plan, or down if life, injuries, or unexpected chaos get in the way.
Throughout the challenge, we will send updates so you’ll always know where your % completion should be at that point in the timeline.
Rules of the Game
This is not a race.
There is no prize for finishing early. In fact, your ability to log miles will stop once you hit 100%.
Focus on your percentage, not someone else's race.
One hour of movement looks different for everyone—you may swim 1 mile, walk 3 miles, or bike 15 miles. The leaderboard exists to track your progress, not to compare yourself to other participants.
Suggested Goals
70 miles - 1 mile/day
Perfect if most of your movement comes from swimming, lifting, or fitness classes.
150 miles - 2 mile/day
Ideal if you mix walking with swimming, lifting, or fitness classes.
225 miles - 3 mile/day
A great fit for our walkers.
375 miles - 5 mile/day
A great fit for our walkers.
750 miles - 10 mile/day
Perfect for our our participants who plan to get many of their miles on bike.

We’re all in this together during the 2026 Full Send Challenges!
More fun with friends and family, more accountability, and more connection. Invite your book club, wine club (they’ll especially love Summer in the Vines), coworkers, or your favorite workout buddies. Create meet-ups to move together in person or virtually.
And—great news—our team stats have NEVER been easier or more dynamic. At a glance, you’ll be able to see real-time team standings!
This year, everyone is participating in the same event within each challenge (you still will be able to customize your distance). In the past, we offered multiple distance events, but that made team scoring tricky. It also meant people often chose a distance just to be on the same team as their friends. By simplifying to one unified challenge, teams can finally focus on what matters—moving together, cheering each other on, and climbing the leaderboard with no confusion.
