What is Virtual Burrito League?

Starting January 12 2026, pick or create a short Strava segment near you, repeat it as many times as you can, and let consistency, not speed, decide the winner!

Challenge Window

January 12, 2026 to 11:59pm MST on January 31, 2026.

How to Compete:

1. Create your own straight-line Strava segment that is at least 300 meters long (recommended: 300–400m).
2. Paste your Segment URL into the registration form under “Segment Link” at https://www.sinistersports.ca/burritoleague/ (link in Sinister Sports bio).
3. Repeat your segment as many times as you want during the challenge window.
4. Be sure to head to https://www.sinistersports.ca/burritoleague/ each day to enter your new total number of segments into your profile.
5. Then yell: Let’s goooooo burritooooooo!

Rules:

1. Route: Each segment should be a point-to-point (no loops) meaning that you only get credit for travel in one direction (returning to the segment start does not count toward your segment completion total).
2. Scoring: Runners are credited with each completed segment efforts on their own segment by the deadline. Speed/time for efforts does not matter. Strava tracks this using a "Local Legend" title on your segment, so you only have to focus on running.
3. One Segment Only: Participants must use only one segment for the duration of the challenge. You cannot combine multiple segments for an amalgamated total.
4. On Foot Only: Run, jog, walk or crawl. No bikes, wheels, or vehicles.
5. Same-day Uploads Required: Activities must be uploaded to Strava the day they’re recorded (no “hide now, upload later”. Data dumps = DQ).
6. Visibility Required: Your activities must be set to “Everyone” on Strava (otherwise they won’t count toward effort totals).Your segment must remain Public for the full challenge so we can verify totals.
7. Segment Standards:
1. Minimum length: 300m (recommended 300–400m).
2. Repeatable & Safe: Choose a route you can repeat many times without dangerous crossings or restricted access.
3. Clear Direction: Strava segments are directional, your reps must be run in the same direction as your segment, the return trip does not count.
