100 Days of Running is a virtual running challenge in which you are required to run (or run/walk) daily for 100 days, starting July 24th and ending Oct 31st, 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).

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

Please visit our new users section on the website which guides participants in a step by step manner on account creation, event confirmation, connecting apps to your HDOR account, data submission, and other useful information.

Registrations for 2021 edition will close on Aug 2nd.

Participants must be at least 7 years of age as of event start date, i.e. July 24th, 2021. Parents undertaking is necessary for children under 14 years.

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

Participants who do not have any pre-existing HDOR accounts need to create one first. Past HDOR participants can re-use their pre-existing accounts to login. In case you have forgotten your password, use the Forgot Password feature on the login page to generate a new one.

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 points earned (points being awarded on the basis of distance covered and activity pace). Distance submitted using manual submission (with or without link) and automatic imports are considered, but pace points will only be awarded for automatically imported activities from supported apps.

The 2021 leaderboard will be based on days run followed by activity points, which will be awarded for each activity as below.

Activity points = Distance points + Pace points.

Distance Points = 4 Per Km

* 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 pace is between 5 Min/km & 15 Min/km =
Distance points * 0.5 * (Max Pace – Activity Pace) / (Max Pace – Min Pace)

Pace Points will be awarded only on imported activities with connected apps, and not for any manually submitted activities.

Following are the age categories for the event:

• 7 years to 12 years
• 13 years to 18 years
• 19 years to 24 years
• 25 years to 29 years
• 30 years to 34 years

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 points per member. 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 total days run by all members combined, followed by total points earned by the respective team.

Please refer to the Timelines section on this page for same.

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.

Your run will be available on our website within an hour of your run data submission or post availability in your Strava account if you have connected your HDOR account to Strava.

If your run data is not available in your account within one hour, please submit the activity link and run data manually via app or website, and contact our support team at support@hdor.com.

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.

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.
