100 pt. Distance Scale

The original DAWG-PATCH

The 100 pt. scale was created to help you design and execute your own Point to Point Challenge. This scale can help you get a better understanding of what we are looking for while designing your Point to Point Challenge of the Year submission.

Below is the criteria that your challenge should follow:

1) Must be a relatively straight line from a start location ‘A’ to an end location ‘B.’ POINT TO POINT. NO LOOPS. Think in terms of how the crow flies.

2) Challenge must use and be completed in the natural geography. NO GYMS, NO POOLS.

3) Challenge must be completed by self-powered means. Bicycling, Swimming, Running, Paddling, or Hiking. NO MOTORS.

4) The Challenge can be one or any combination of running, swimming, bicycling, hiking or paddling but should roughly equal 100 points or more on the ‘Patch Point Scale.’

Patch Point Scale Totals (Mix and matching is encouraged to total 100 points.)

Bicycle: 100 miles = 100 points

Swim: 3 miles = 100 points

Run: 25 miles = 100 points

Prone Paddle: 15 miles = 100 points

Kayak and SUP: 25 miles = 100 points

Example: 50 mi bike + 1.5 mi swim = 100 points

*Exceptions may be made when linking two geographical points of significance that may not allow for the distance required to put 100 points on the board. A true example would be in the case of swimming to an island i.e. Isle Chora Swim completed in 2018.

*Please look at completed challenges posted on our website or instagram to get ideas.
