The Final Stats for CRAW "It's a Small World"
Our total CRAW adventure of 30,208 miles took 1 year 6 months and 11 days (or 557 days). That means we averaged 54.2 miles per day as a team, or 5.4 miles per person per day for over a year and a half. Pretty impressive! Over that time we had a total of 13 different team members participate, with 7 on the team going the entire distance. Here are the final mileage totals for each participant (ordered by highest to lowest total mileage):
Overall CRAW Mileage
As seen above, four of our teammates each clocked over 4,000 miles during CRAW, and those four accounted for 58% of our team's total mileage!
For the breakout of running and walking miles, here are the top honors:
Top 3 Running Mileage (including treadmill)
Top 3 Walking Mileage (including hiking)
Top 3 Treadmill Mileage
Top 3 Total Number of Activities
Well, that about wraps it up. In any case, I originally registered for this adventure hoping to keep folks motivated during the pandemic, and I can't speak for the team, but it definitely helped me. I want to thank all those who participated for staying involved, inspiring each other, and giving words of encouragement when needed. I really enjoyed our journey. Thank you, team!!!!!

Thank you @opusone for your leadership through this adventure, for kick-starting a team 17 months ago and for the really cool region by region summaries! I have really enjoyed being part of the team and will miss seeing our team advance around the world.
We should try to connect through one of the meet-ups at MW in January. I think there were several of us going? At least so we can get a picture or two. I would love to put one next to the world map e we all got. Now it is back to logging my miles in my journal.

Congratulations to all! A lot of miles put in over the months. And I also add a very special thank you to Opusone for all the work and updates. It was great to follow along with the updates even after I droped from the team. Hope everyone has found a big enough spot for your now completed world maps!

I'm not a big virtual race person, but two things I enjoyed with this were the live views of where we were running (the only way me/Afghanistan will ever meet) and also, weirdly, the impetus to track/record my walking mileage, or to be more accurate, my dog-walking mileage. My Buddy is 15-1/2, and we may not go far, but we go every day. It adds up to more moving than I would have thought.

Geez, @opusone, if I'd realized I was only 60 miles behind you for the grand total, I would have worked a little harder!
The mileage that these folks consistently put on was really amazing! For a year and a half!
I was trying to think why I would have done 0.21 running miles, so I looked it up. This was me getting to 100 running miles for the month of June! Gotta have priorities!
Thanks so much for keeping track of all of this and keeping us in line. It was a lot of fun!

This doesn't surprise me, as you and I were neck & neck for many of the regions. I thought you likely had me given my lackluster performance in Region 12. I was just surprised that I crossed the 3,000 mile mark as I wasn't paying close attention to my total mileage at the end!Geez, @opusone, if I'd realized I was only 60 miles behind you for the grand total, I would have worked a little harder!

I sincerely echo this. I'm very grateful. I couldn't have done that job, and our team may never have completed this journey without all the effort you put in to keeping us on track.
Also, I just got my shipping notice for my Region 11 and 12 medals!

My medals for region 11 & 12 arrived! It felt really good to place those last two on the map and close our year and a half loop! I think it looks really nice now. But I am starting to think about the other regions…. Anyone doing them? If so can you share the process. Is it solo? I think I just might try to fill in the rest of that map!

I think the bonus regions work identical to the main regions... teams up to 10 people, post mileage just like before, etc. So, sure you could run them solo, but that will take a lot of time to get all those miles in.
ETA: upon closer inspection of the map, I don't believe there are magnets under the bonus region continents/countries, so you would need to attach them to the map in a different way.
