Q: Do I need to join the 1013 Run Club runs to participate? No! There is no requirement to do the miles together. This is a virtual challenge; although, many participants do choose to join us for runs during our regularly scheduled run times (TU: 6:30 p.m.; SA: 7:00 a.m.)
Q: Can I share this with friends and family? YES PLEASE!!
Q: What if I miss a day and lose my streak? Do I still get to participate and get my shirt? Yes, Yes, and Yes!
