Organiser's Description

THIS IS A FULLY-CLOTHED ACTIVITY!

WHAT: An activity where participants are challenged to complete 1 mile (walking or running) every day over several weeks.

WHEN: Black Friday (11/229/2024) - New Years Day (01/01/2025)

WHERE: THIS IS A VIRTUAL CHALLENGE, COMPLETED ON YOUR OWN AT YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE! _MILEAGE CAN BE COMPLETED ANYWHERE!_ But participants get a special bonus if they complete the miles at Meade State Park.

WHY: Connect people through a common activity, stay motivated and healthy during the holiday season and encourage visitation at Meade State Park during the off season.

HOW: Run/walk at least ONE dedicated mile every day between Black Friday and New Years Day. Mileage can be tracked on any activity tracking app (Garmin, Strava, Fitbit, Apple, RunKeep, etc.) or on pencil/paper (paper tracking forms are available for participants upon request.)

ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE AND ANYONE CAN WIN PRIZES!

For every day you complete one mile (or more), you will be entered into a drawing for some great prizes!

IF YOU MISS A DAY... (OR TWO... OR THREE...)

IT IS OKAY TO MISS A DAY! You will not be "kicked out" of the challenge and you will not be publicly shamed. This is a FREE, FUN event and we know the holidays are busy! Even if you miss a few days, you are still eligible to win drawing prizes for the daily miles you DO complete, and you can still win the award for "Highest Mileage" even if you miss a day or two.

EARN DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ENTRY FOR PRIZE DRAWINGS!

Anytime you complete your mileage at Meade State Park, you earn DOUBLE entry into the prize drawing. Earn TRIPLE entry by completing miles on "Specialty Days" (see a full list of "Specialty Days" HERE [https://runsignup.com/Race/MeadeStateParkWinterRunStreakChallenge/Page-3]).

COMPLETE THE STREAK!

Those that complete one mile every day from Nov. 29 - Jan. 1 (regardless of location completed at) will earn a coveted "Run/Walk Streak" T-Shirt and the ability to claim they "Completed the Streak!"

    ANYONE of ANY AGE of ANY FITNESS LEVEL can participate! This event is entirely on the HONOR SYSTEM! Please be honest with your mileage and location in order to keep the event fun for everyone. SANTA IS WATCHING!! Miles counted must be DEDICATED miles. You can't count any miles racked up during your daily step count. Please ensure you read and understand the "Rules for Participating" before signing up. *ADA Accessibility: Participants confined to a wheelchair may also participate so long as they record a DEDICATED mile towards the challenge. (Electric or manual wheel chairs are acceptable depending on the participants needs.) The Winter Run/Walk Streak Challenge grows in popularity every year as a way to stay motivated, healthy and take time for ones self during the busy holiday season. The challenge was popularized by Runners World magazine, as they promote the challenge every year between Thanksgiving and New Years Day. (See the following article from the 2022 Winter Run Streak challenge https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a27546583/rw-run-streak). Those that complete the challenge earn nothing more than bragging rights and the ability to call themselves a true run streaker. Actual rules of the Winter Run/Walk Streak varies depending on the person participating. The most popular challenges are free to participate and low-to-no-consequence should you miss a day of running or walking. A general consensus is that for a day to count towards the streak, you must run or walk at least ONE dedicated mile. That doesnt include any mileage you rack up doing your normal day-to-day activities. It also doesnt include mileage from playing sports like soccer, football or basketball. The mile must be stand-alone and completed on your own two feet either by walking/running outside, on a treadmill, on an indoor track, laps around a gym floor or even laps in your own home/backyard. Those who do this daily for 38 consecutive days earn the title of streaker.
