Kelowna Running Club 100km Virtual Challenge 2024

Welcome to the Kelowna Running Club's
100km March Virtual Challenge!
March 1st - March 31st 2024

The KRC 100km challenge is a great opportunity to get a jump-start on our training for the year ahead! This is a distance challenge that has the goal of at least 100 total kilometres in the month of March. This is a FREE, virtual event so there is no set location and you can complete it in as many separate activities as you like (or all in one go if you're really sadistic!). This event is available free to all registered members of the Kelowna Running Club.

The 100k Challenge

After each of your runs this month, enter your results by logging into RaceRoster.com or by using your name and registration number. Select the event and enter your distance and time. For proof of completion, we ask that you upload a file/photo showing date and distance when you enter your result for each run. A distance tracking app, such as Strava, Garmin or Runkeeper, can provide the necessary data to submit, but is not necessary. If you need assistance, please contact Josh, the race director, at joshwyatt000@hotmail.com

Free KRC branded buff for all participants

In addition to the challenge, every participant will receive a FREE custom buff with the Kelowna Running Club logo and everyone who completes the 100km distance will be eligible for door prizes! The results and draw for prizes will take place in early April.

Bingo Card

After the success of our bingo card last year, we have brought it back with a selection of new challenges for you to complete. Click here or on the image below to download the card and print out your own copy:

Here's how it works:

- Download and print out your own copy of the bingo sheet (or keep a virtual list)

- Cross out a box and add the date when you complete a challenge. You can only check ONE box per activity- no double dipping!

- Take a picture of your completed bingo card and email it to us (kelownarunningclub@gmail.com) to be entered into an extra special prize draw.

During this event we encourage all participants to post pictures of themselves or their runs. We want to see your lovely faces out there enjoying yourselves!

This event is not exclusive to runners. We know that our club has a sizable contingent of passionate walkers and we love to support you too! There is no minimum speed at which you must complete your kilometres, so whatever activity you are doing, you are just as welcome to join us! To be eligible for prizes you must complete the 100km, but the free buff and participation in the event are not reliant on distance completion. We would encourage you to join, even if you think the distance is beyond you. This event is about challenging yourself, and who knows, you may rack up those kilometres quicker than you expect!

Every year we are grateful for the many sponsors who donate prizes to this event. Their logos are below with links to their websites and we encourage you to repay their generosity by supporting their businesses.
