Earth Day Virtual Challenge Run/Walk: The third-annual event happens in Cape Coral and other cities across the country. The virtual run/walk started April 1 and ends April 30. The goal is to beat last year’s total of 51,023 miles traveled by participants. That’s more than twice the distance around the Earth’s equator (24,901 miles). Walkers and runners log their miles and report them on the event’s results page. Registration is required, but the event is free. You can also upgrade to packages that include T-shirts, a commemorative medal and an eco-friendly straw. tinyurl.com/2jbm55tc
