MAC McHUGH MILEAGE CHALLENGE

The Mac McHugh Mileage Challenge encourages riders to log their miles throughout the year, celebrating the joy and freedom of two-wheeled adventure. Mac was the driving force behind the challenge for many years, and his enthusiasm was infectious. The annual riding challenge was renamed in his honor in October 2025. We hope the ‘Mac’ McHugh Mileage Challenge will inspire a new generation of riders to hit the road and share in the spirit that Mac embodied.

Participation in the annual mileage challenge is easy, and every MOA member is welcome to participate.  The contest opens on April 1 each year and closes on March 31 of the following year.

To enter, MOA members should download the Starting Mileage Form and submit it to document their beginning mileage. In March of the following year, an Edning Mileage Form will be available for download and members can submit their final mileage for the challenge. 

 

Additional Requirements:

  • All miles or kilometers reported must have been aboard a BMW motorcycle.
  • Beginning and ending mileage must be submitted on the official form included in BMW Owners News or downloaded from this page. Copies of the form are acceptable.
  • Always include your BMW MOA member number on all correspondence.
  • When entering miles or kilometers, always include the total mi/km on a bike with more than 100,000 mi/km with an odometer that has turned over to zero (0). For example, 25,000 mi/km on a bike that has gone over 100,000 should be reported as 125,000; over 200,000 reported as 225,000, etc.
  • If you traded bikes or changed speedometers during the contest, send in the final mileage of your old bike and the beginning and ending mileage of the new bike with signatures from the dealer or former owner. If a loaner or rental bike is used, please provide verification of that mileage.
  • If you live in a remote area and have difficulty getting signatures, that will be taken into consideration.

The Mac McHugh Mileage Challenge covers the period from 1 April of one year through 31 March of the following year. There is only one mileage contest. Start forms must be submitted by May 1 of the starting year; end forms must be submitted by 30 April of the ending year.


You may register by emailing digital photos of your odometer readings to the Mac McHugh Mileage Challenge Coordinator, Jim Low. Please note on the verification signature line of your mileage form that you have emailed photos for your starting or ending mileage. Other forms of verification are also allowed, including recent maintenance performed by your local shop as long as the mileage is shown on the service order. Thanks to all who participate and remember to stay safe.

Email Mac McHugh, Mileage Challenge Coordinator, Jim Low with questions. Start forms must be postmarked by 1 May 2025. All forms (start and end) should be sent to: Mac McHugh Mileage Challenge, c/o BMW MOA, 2350 Hwy 101 S, Greer, SC 29651.
