100 Days of Running 2024 (2024)

The 100 Days of Running challenge is a virtual event in which participants are required to run or walk a minimum distance of 2 kilometres per day for 100 consecutive days.

To be considered an event finisher, participants must complete at least 40 days of the challenge.

Participants can track their progress using a mobile app or GPS watch, or by manually reporting their distance and time on the event website or an app like Strava (although a maximum daily distance of 5 kilometres can be reported without proof). For additional information about the challenge, see the FAQs.

Finishers are ranked based on the number of days for which valid data is submitted. If multiple participants have the same number of days, their ranking is determined by the points they earn, which are awarded based on the distance covered and activity pace.

Both manual submissions (with or without a link) and automatic imports of distance are considered, but pace points are only awarded for automatically imported activities from supported apps.

Participants who have their data automatically imported from any of the supported apps will receive a bonus of 10 points for each activity.

The 2024 leaderboard will be based on the number of days run, followed by activity points. Activity points are calculated as follows:

Activity points = Distance points + Pace points + Bonus points

Distance points are awarded at a rate of 4 points per kilometre.No Pace Points at >= 15 Min/km (Min pace)Pace points at 50% of Distance Points at <= 5 Min/km (Max pace)Pace Points if the pace is between 5 Min/km & 15 Min/km = Distance points * 0.5 * (Max Pace – Activity Pace) / (Max Pace – Min Pace)

Pace points are only awarded for imported activities connected apps, and not for manually submitted activities.

Participants will receive a bonus of 10 points per day if their activity data is automatically imported from any of the supporting apps.

Following are the age categories for the event:

• 7 years to 12 years
• 13 years to 18 years
• 19 years to 29 years
• 30 years to 39 years
• 40 years to 49 years
• 50 years to 59 years
• 60 years to 69 years
• 70 years and above

Participant age as on event start date, i.e. April 27th, 2024, will be considered for above categories.

The top 5 men and women as per published rank will receive a podium trophy (days & then points earned basis)

Criteria for trophies

• * For all individuals (age-category and overall), the winners will be decided on the basis of days run followed by points earned.
• *For couple/family/friends teams, the winners will be decided on the basis of days run followed by total points for the whole team. Days run will not be a sum of days run by each member, but simply a count of how many days out of the 100 any member of the team ran. So if any member of the team ran on each day of the event, the total will be 100.
• *For running groups and corporate teams, the winners will be decided on the basis of the total points earned by the respective team.

We permit participants to mix running and walking. In fact, we recommend that participants take a few rest days by walking the minimum required distance of 2 km as part of the event rules. This can help with recovery.

If you are submitting more than one entry for a single day, only the activity with the longest distance will be counted. This means that if you do more than one run or walk activity on the same day, only the one with the greatest distance will be considered.

For any data submission, the minimum distance eligible to be submitted is 2 km. Any distance less than 2 km will be considered invalid.

There is no upper distance limit for submission with proper activity proof in the form of a valid activity link from the mobile app or GPS watch

However, if the submission is without acceptable proof, then a maximum distance of 5 km can be submitted.
