I ran across the Digital Running Club site when I was checking out Running on Candy‘s recap of her experience in last weekend’s Ragnar Relay in Key West.
The Digital Running Club has a lot of content on their site, but one of the things I immediately checked out were the 3 challenges they’re running in 2014:
- Hat Trick Challenge – run 3 of the following race distances: 5k, 10k, half marathon or marathon.
- Grand Slam Challenge – run all 4 race distances: 5k, 10k, half marathon & marathon. Bonus = you get the Hat Trick medal too once you complete 3 of the distances.
- Interstate Challenge – run a half marathon or marathon in 2 U.S. states, 2 Canadian provinces (or 1 of each).
The earlier you sign up for the challenges, the cheaper they are, but they max out at $25-$30. I’m contemplating the Interstate Challenge since I’ve got a half marathon in Kentucky and North Carolina already scheduled, but I did sign up for the Grand Slam challenge since I’m already registered for a half marathon, marathon and have plans to do at least one 5k – now I just need to find a 10k.
Do you have any plans for a 10k this year? Have you ever registered for challenges or other activities to get more bling?
