100 Days of Running is a virtual running challenge in which you are required to run (or run/walk) daily for 100 days, starting May 1st and ending Aug 8th, 2021.

You need to cover a minimum distance of 2 km everyday as part of this challenge.

Completing at least 40 days out of 100 will make you an event finisher.

You may use a mobile app like Strava etc or a GPS watch to record your daily run data.

You can even participate if you do not want to use any app or watch, by just reporting your daily distance and time on event website or app (although we have daily distance submission limit of maximum 5 km in such cases without proof).

We allow participants to mix running and walking. In fact, we recommend running challenge participants to take a couple of rest days as their recovery days by walking the minimum distance required if any as part of any specific event rules (like the requirement to run daily a minimum distance of 2 km for 100 Days of Running event).

Only the longest distance activity will be considered if you submit more than one entry for the day, i.e. you do more than one run or walk activity.

For any data submission, the minimum distance eligible to be submitted is 2 km. No distance less than 2 km will be accepted, or considered valid for the event.

With proper proof of activity in the form of a valid activity link from mobile app or GPS watch, there is no upper distance limit for submission.

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