**Updated below with a finisher’s badge

** Note: this is the 2013 challenge.

Congrats to those that participated in the Runner’s World Run Streak this Summer. I saw plenty of #RWRunStreak hashes flying around from runners taking on the 2013 Summer Challenge of running (at least) 1 mile a day from Memorial Day to Independence Day. That’s 39 consecutive days of running.

Here is your finisher’s badge!

Be sure to share it, pin it, tweet it, instagram it, print it out and glue it to your shirt… ANYTHING that proclaims your certification as a STREAKER!

Smaller version for your blog:

Here are the RWRunStreak Details:

Run (at least) 1 mile per day from May 27 – July 4 (official RW page)

That’s it. Yep, just run 1 mile a day for the next 39 days and you are in. Here are some FAQ if you have any concerns about whether “streaking” is right for you.

It’s open to everyone, including current streakers, past streakers and never-before streakers.

Spread the word! #RWRunStreak

Oh hell yes! I failed miserably last year but this year is going much better than last! I’ll be doing the majority of my running in Colorado so that’s even better.

I haven’t been able to run every day for years but I’m pretty sure I could handle a mile – sounds like fun!!

I did the winter run streak, because cold weather is definitely my thing, and it was so much fun. I highly encourage anyone on the fence to fall over to the doing-it side!

Ohh this sounds like a fabulous way for me to stop making excuses and not running because it’s too hot!

Looks like I’m in. Usually, I only run 3 days a week (so I can play floor hockey, swim and bike and strength train), but even just one mile a day is certainly doable.

Why anyone needs this to run daily boggles my mind…
We never had to talk about it, made sure others were “doing” it, motivate “thousands” (ha) or add up days/weeks/months-maybe years, yes. It’s been over 40 for me and no one but myself has ever motivated me to put on my running shoes and go. If you need this to run, maybe these people should think about doing something they actually LIKE????
