"I love Run Across America and I've been a subscriber for a long time. I sometimes go through periods where I don't remember to use the app, but I've been coming out of an injury recently and it's been SO helpful to be able to tell myself, "okay we're going to really try to do RAA this season!" And the hat looks great, feels great, and is nice and warm - I love it!"
"Didn’t love the graphics choice this year, while side-by-side they are different, the theme is so similar it didn’t feel uniquely different each session. Something fun and a bit more colorful is more motivating."
"I was laid off at the end of 2025 so I thought signing up for the whole year would help me have accountability for intentional walking. It truly has helped me. I helped give me purpose & rack up my miles to ‘earn’ my prize. I do wish that RAA would offer season pass holders perhaps an extra or special prize or a discount on merch."
"Love everything about it except when u sign up it’s not totally clear they are going to get their payment so quickly… - $55 down to $50? Great. - $50 every season for a total of four seasons? - Nope. 6 charges for four seasons. Every other month. - Hmmmm. Ok fine. - First charge immediately. Makes sense. I’ll pay again in two months as per the agreement… - Next charge in two months? - Nope. Next month. - Hmmm. Ok never mind. Had to cancel."
"The challenge to walk daily a mile for61 days has been a fun time"
"The t-shirts get us talking about Run Across America and the goals of the organization. People in my exercise classes are interested and commend you for what you do. Nice Thanks for all you do"
"Love the community! It is so positive and motivating. Thank you for all the support!"
"It's soft and comfortable, but I don't love the peachy orange color."
"It is so cute and very soft! The shirt is true to size and I love it!"
"I love your shirts! They're a nice comfy fit without being too big."
