If you are unfamiliar with #RunThisYear, it’s the brain child of me and Tiffany (RunningHutch.com) where we are encouraging people to push their limits and RUN THIS YEAR.
The goal is to run the year in miles: 2,013 miles in 2013 — but we understand that not everyone can jump right into 2k miles in a year (heck, I’ve never run more than 1,400) so we encourage you with monthly challenges to simply get out there and run.
We’re on twitter: @RunThisYear — and we follow back.
We’re on Instagram: @RunThisYear — and we follow back.
We’re on Facebook: Facebook.com/RunThisYear
We also have a badge you can grab — see mine on the right hand side? Grab yours here and watch a funny video!
This month, we are still hashing out the details as to what the winner will receive, but we can lay out how to enter. It’s simple:
For every 25 miles you run in March, you get an entry.
If you run a total of 60 miles, that’s 2 entries.
If you run a total of 125 miles, that’s 5 entires.
If you a running maniac and log 340 miles, that’s 13 entries.
A randomly chosen winner will receive something cool — we’ll update the page once we know.
Note: Mile must be run between March 1, 2013 and March 31, 2013

Great challenge, I wish I could participate, but I am not ready for that type of mileage. I may hit 25 for March though.
I’m a sucker for this kind of motivation ;) Going to run as much as I can!
You and me both Amy! Especially when it’s free Oiselle gear!
so that means i need to run more than 25 miles, right? if so, give me some of your endurance please. hehe. jk, i’m on it boss!
how fun!! genius at work once again! :) :)
All at once?! ;)
I’m going to start with lacing up first lol
Hmm, I run at least that a week..
Love this! I’m going to see if I can get some friends to join me in the challenge!!
I’m not sure about 2013 for the year, but I should hit at least 25 for March! I love the overall idea, though!
Sounds fun, but I don’t do a lot of mileage for my training. I follow, “Run Less, Run Faster”
Just shared! Love this idea, so more of us can participate. :)
Coolio. My cousin threw out a challenge for the month of March so I’ll be getting a twofer! Sweet!
2,013 miles is nowhere in the realm of possibility for me but I love the incentive to up my mileage :)
Love this!! And my goal is 2,013 miles (or more) for 2013!
I am excited to try to reach 2013 miles!! This is great motivation. close to 600 miles already (since january).
Need to remember to use the hashtag. Oy my old age. I’m following you guys on Twitter and FB. :)
Awesome! I knew there was a reason I ran 26.2 on Sunday instead of 23! I just didn’t know what it was!
Yay! This will be a good incentive to keep on track with my marathon training!
Awesome and hey! I’ll hit more than 25 miles in March. Yipee!! I can participate.
Awesome Brian! I tweeted :) and I already follow across the platforms.
Great challenge, glad I’m training for Boston, I’ll get a lot of miles in. Over 50 miles so far.
I think I can at least do 25 miles in one month. I accept challenge, yippee!
I’m sure I won’t run 2013 for the year, but I can definitely run at least 50 for March!
2013 in 2013 — that won’t happen for me yet haha but maybe I can shoot for 1,000?!? I’ve never actually tracked my miles. Guess this looks like a good time to start:)
Love the arm warmers! And love this challenge!
Wahoo! I am so excited about this! My husband and I are going to do this together!
Opps! I posted the same tweet twice in the Giveaway thing. :) I meant to post a second url. Here it is https://twitter.com/leahbfrazier/status/310120218993242113
I keep hearing about Oiselle, but haven’t tried them yet. Especially LOVE those sleeves!
I LOVE this challenge! I’m training for a marathon so my mileage is pretty high each week. I think this is great though :)
This is so much fun and inspiring. I just found yall and I am glad i did. I was already trying to run 2013 miles and I thought I was alone…but I guess we are all in it together!
Prizes or no prizes, this is pretty cool!
i was doing some catching up! I am at 121 miles and will be hitting 125 after tomorrow’s run. this is an awesome challenge to be part of.
Woot!!! 53 hit today!
I’ll easily get 50 for March.
50 miles for march so far!
I’ve hit 25.35 miles so far!
Love it! I want to win some arm warmers!
Best running month (mileage wise)ever!!!! Went well over 150 and I still have a few days left. Woot woot!
So excited about this – just went over 75 this morning!
Great comp, I’m not having a great month but 112 miles logged this month. The prize should be great, the oiselle stuff looks great .
I completed my first marathon this month and have run 78 miles so far! Just signed up for a half in June to keep me focused. I really love all of Oiselles threads and am dying to try their stuff!!
Love this!
I’m not really sure I did the right thing w/ Rafflecopter as it didn’t ask me for email or any other ID – I ran 251 miles so I entered in the 125, 75 and 50 categories.
just finished my march miles – 131!
exactly 75 for March!
Wuhoo! Just squeaked by the 75 mark with Saturday’s run totalling 76 :)
I finished with 225.04 miles for March….
okay. I messed up! I ran 133 miles in March. However, I entered some as I went for the month and now can’t enter my final 25 miles b/c I did the 25 entry way back in the beginning of the month. What’s a girl to do?? LOL (So basically, I’ve only entered myself for 100 of the miles I ran. Dang it.)
