Meade State Park Winter Run Streak Challenge (Virtual)
Free
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.
