GAME OF RUNS VIRTUAL TOURNAMENT

ARE YOU READY to turn September into your most powerful month yet?

Game of Runs is a brand new virtual tournament in partnership with The Running Bug and DP Running Journals. This epic battle is a thrilling, month-long challenge where every mile counts. Whether you run, jog, or walk, you’ll compete against others to climb the leaderboard, earn an epic custom medal, and unlock incredible prizes. Track your progress, push your limits, and finish the month with pride, rewards, and bragging rights.

WHAT IS THE GAME OF RUNS VIRTUAL RACE?

This is a unique battle of endurance like no other. The Game of Runs is a tournament that pushes your limits to the test.

Starting on 1st September, run, walk or jog, any distance, anywhere. During the month, you do as many activities as possible. The top 3 participants who log the most miles will take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. But don’t worry if you don’t manage to end on the top of the leaderboard, you will still get an awesome medal.

Record your miles on your favourite exercise app, take photos of your watch or treadmill display. At the end of the month, upload your activities. These will be verified and your medal (and maybe some prizes) will be sent to you.
