100 Days of Running is a virtual running challenge in which you are required to run (or run/walk) daily for 100 days, starting Jun 27th and ending Oct 4th, 2020.

You need to cover a minimum distance of 1 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).

For more details about this event, check the other FAQ items.

Registrations for 2020 edition will close on June 27th at 5 pm.

Participants must be at least 7 years of age as of event start date, i.e. Apr 25th, 2020. Parents undertaking is necessary for children under 14 years.

There is no upper age limit for taking part in the event.

All participants need to be registered users on HDOR website to participate in the event. Participants who already have HDOR accounts from past events can use the same account to login. New members, who do not have any previous HDOR account and who have registered for 100 Days of Running 2020 need to create a new account here first.

Only participants who have submitted valid run data for at least 40 days out of 100 will be eligible for the finisher’s medal.

Finishers are ranked on the basis of number of days valid data is submitted for. If multiple participants have same days, ranking will be decided next based on the distance run. Both manual submission (with or without link) and automatic imports are considered similarly for ranking.

Event organizers can reject any entry which has suspect GPS data (straight line outside normal run route, unrealistic high pace like sub 3 min/km pace at any time during run, etc)

Submission of any ride or data using a vehicle will be invalid.

Event organizers have the right to take any decisions for disqualifying a participant if the participant is considered to have taken any external help in running the distance (like using a cycle or any other vehicle) or cheated in any way.

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. Apr 25th, 2020, will be considered for above categories.

To avoid unhealthy competition specially among small kids, we will not be having podium trophies for the age categories of 7-12 years. For them, it should be just a daily fun and play activity.

For the rest of age categories, top 5 men and women as per published rank will receive a podium trophy (days & then distance basis).

Finishers medals will be dispatched to all participants latest by Oct 22nd.

All participants who have submitted a minimum of 1 day data for the event will receive the participant certificate.

Finisher certificate will be available for download for participants who submitted at least 40 days valid activity data. It will showcase your rank under various categories like gender, age, city, group, organization, country.

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). However, we have setup a minimum pace requirement for your walks. It should be at an average pace of 20 mins/km or faster to be considered for the event.

You can run or walk multiple times a day and submit each activity detail on the website.

For any data submission, the minimum distance eligible to be submitted is 1 km. No distance less than 1 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.
