5k badge?

I've seen a few people with nice shiny 5k badges next to their names - how do you get those please?

Isn't that the graduate badge? I've seen 5KM ones too.

Haven't seen the 5k badge yet...will keep lookout

[dottiemay Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Sorry, thought that was what you meant! 5k badge - don't know of that...

I haven't seen a 5k badge

I can't see them either now - wish I'd taken a screen shot! They were green, round, and had 5K, or 5KM inside, nothing else. Maybe I dreamt it...

The only round green ones I know of are these real pin badges:

You can buy them from Complete Runner:

C25Kgraduatebadge.co.uk

who also produce lovely graduate t-shirts with the logo on. Other than that, I don't know. I haven't seen any next to names but maybe HU experimented with it and then removed it. I've had several odd versions of the page popping up recently after not being able to connect for a couple of hours one day last week!

I wondered that too, if maybe it was an experiment by HU! I didn't think it a good idea really, I'm on my way to graduating, but won't hit 5K for a while, like most new runners I suppose, so unless they were going to have 2 badges it wouldn't really work. You're right though, it was very much like the pin.

Aaaaahaaaaaa......mystery solved! I have just seen the 5k badge you mean!! It's attached to our avatar pics on the News Feed and User Activity pages accessed from your name on the green bar at the top! For some reason they don't show on the main Posts page - another of HUs 'funny little ways'... and I don't remember seeing them there yesterday...

Tried to copy & paste but it won't work on here. Not sure if this link will show you: healthunlocked.com/dottiema...

Yes! That's it DottieMay! I'm sure they come and go though, they're not there all the time...
