Logging Your Runs
You can choose to log your runs as you go through the challenge using our online run tracker - live from 1 November. This will make tracking your progress and submitting your challenge results easier. To do this you will need to enter your Great Run registration ID, which can be found on your entry confirmation email, and date of birth.
Alternatively, you can choose to keep track of your runs yourself using your own tracking device or app, and simply visit the results submission page at the end of the challenge. If you choose this option you will need to enter your total running time, total distance, upload a (optional) screenshot of your activity, and confirm that you have completed the challenge.
FAQs
The Great Run Solo Accumulator challenge is a month long challenge. The challenge starts on the 1st day of the month (i.e. 1st November) and ends on the last day of a month (i.e. 30th November). To complete the challenge participants must complete 13 runs (or more) during the month. The runs can be of any distance.
IS THERE A DEADLINE TO ENTER THE NOVEMBER CHALLENGE?
Entries for the November Accumulator Challenge open on Friday 16 October and close on Monday 9 November at 10am.
I'VE MISSED THE CHALLENGE START DATE CAN I STILL JOIN?
Yes, as long as you enter before the 9 November then you can still join the challenge. If the date is after the 8th day of the month, you will need to wait to join the Accumulator challenge in November.
HOW DOES THE OPTIONAL DISTANCE AWARD WORK?
Everyone who completes 13 (or more) runs will receive a special edition challenge medal. The second part is to tally up the distance that you’ve completed over all of your runs (13 or more). Depending how far you have run across the month, you may have earned a distance award. Anyone who has earned a distance award will receive a digital finisher’s certificate.
HOW DO I ENTER THE OPTIONAL DISTANCE AWARD?
You don’t need to enter this separately – if you have already entered the Accumulator Challenge then you already have the chance to achieve a distance award. At the end of the challenge when logging your results you will need to calculate the total distance that you’ve covered..
CAN I DO MORE THAN ONE RUN PER DAY?
Yes you can do more than one activity per day, but don’t overdo it!
CAN I USE A TREADMILL?
Yes, you can use a treadmill to reach your target. Just remember to track the activity.
