AMAAAAZZZZIINNNGGGG!!! We totally SMASHED this distance challenge!!!

⭐ 2020 kilometres in six days ✔

⭐2020 miles in eight days ✔

⭐2.020 x 2020km in ten days ✔

⭐⭐⭐ At time of writing this post we now have 4130 km in the pot! ⭐⭐⭐

Just over 100 amazing SUPERSTARS showing we are bigger and stronger than ever.

We're heading as far from 2020 as possible and I'm still counting!

It's the very last day of 2020 - how many 2020s can we find today? Run them, walk them, photo them .... then kiss 2020 goodbye!

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken part in this challenge, you've all been awesome despite the snow, ice, mud, and many obstacles that 2020 has thrown at us, and shown just how strong the HU team is.

See you again next year!!!

5.02k from me today, 31st December, linda9389 .

I'm finding it hard to believe that I've gone from graduating C25K at the end of June to hanging out on a Marathon forum and feeling that a slow 5k, even with 106m elevation gain, is a bit of a cop-out! 😂😂😂

Happy running in 2021, everyone! 😀

Hi linda9389 😀 As promised here is my 10.10k share of our buddied up run/walk - a 5.05k run and a 5.05k walk, both done this morning!

I can’t believe how awesome and up for a challenge the HU members are. Simply the best (arghh, now I have a Tina Turner earworm) 🙄😳🎶😅

linda9389 profile image

Well, I reckon I've done a 4.56 walk (strava), 5.05 run (garmin, strava docked 0.01km) and a 0.49 walk(strava) 👍. That's a 20.20km relay!!!

triumph-tigerHalf Marathon

Just did a short run today to end the year. Was aiming for 20 mins 20 secs: Garmin said 20:20, but Strava listed it as 20:21, but guess both appropriate today 😊 Therefore can add 7km from me to the list (3.4k from todays run, and 3.6k from a walk on Wednesday).

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathon in reply totriumph-tiger

I had the same issue with 20.20 on Garmin! but as you say it's about right for today !!!

cheekychipmunks profile image
cheekychipmunksHalf Marathon in reply totriumph-tiger

I had the same problem on my 5.05k walk - Strava docked me 0.01k! The 5.05k run was ok though. Darned tech! I’m believing Garmin today. 🙄😅

Fabulous 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I was a bit like Bambi on ice this morning and had to take to the grass verge to stay upright, but another 10k to add to the pot. This makes my total running distance 20.20 miles. Now 2020 can do one and let’s look forward with more hope to 2021. Happy New Year VRBs and ARBs 🥂

Hi Linda please add another 10.1k run for me today Boss Jr decided it was too cold and icy to go for a walk and rested today. This year I can't believe how many km I have clocked up in total, I have ran 760km and walked 790km in all the activities I have logged. Roll on 2021 for even better year and thank you for putting this challenge on.

Brilliant effort everyone. Squeezed in a 3.5k walk today. Was hoping for a final run of the year, but the sheets of ice on the pavements put me off risking another injury. Hopefully I’ll make it out tomorrow for the first run of the new year. Happy Hogmanay to everyone and here’s to a brighter 2021 hopefully! 🎉 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️
