Run Throughout The Year

Run Throughout The Year is a challenge from https://www.cockbainevents.com. It’s not really described everywhere but in some posts in the cockbainevents Facebook group. The rules are rather simple: run a run of at least 50 miles every month for 12 consecutive months (must not be a race but need to be openly reviewable e.g. via Garmin or Strava link). There is a certain average speed limit of 3 miles/hour for the 50 milers but this is open for debate on the really really long runs. If you manage 12 consecutive months (can start any month) you can submit the results to Mark and are (after his review) eligible to buy a mug to celebrate your achievement.

It is possible to ear multiple of those mugs to make sure you are set for a family and friends’ visit.

Update:

There is a new Run Throughout The Year variant in town. Same as above but 12 100 miler in 12 consecutive months. Must be for people with special interests. Mug is referred to as „holy grail“. The original temporary teaser was this one from Mark:
