The Run Happy Challenge

April showers bring May flowers! With flowers, also come holidays and gearing up for summer. Many of us are transitioning from spring race training to a lower intensity in the frequency or total mileage we are running. 

The goal of May’s challenge is to help keep you accountable (no matter what your running goals are or where you are in your training) and help you RUN HAPPY!


For this challenge, we want you to set a monthly mileage goal (we are a running club after all) and report into us regularly on how it is going. Please track your own mileage and update miles in your posts on the challenge page. Additionally, there will be a weekly challenge for you! You should take a photo of yourself completing the challenge and place it in the challenge page showing us how you are running happy. At the end of the month we will draw a winner from those of you who complete each challenge for a cool prize!

Week 1 (May 1-6)- Attend Tour de Ville and/or wear a Derby hat/Fascinator on your run this week.

Week 2 (May 7-13) - Run for a Mother! Dedicate a run this week to your mom/an important woman in your life to honor her. Feel free to post a photo of her in the challenge page (we won’t reshare outside of the group) and tell us why she makes you happy!

Week 3 (May 14-May 20) - Post a photo with May flowers!

Week 4 (May 21-May 31) – Memorial Day run – Dedicate a run this week to honor armed services members who have fallen during service to our country; wear red/white/blue on your run; post a photo of a family member or friend you honor on Memorial Day. This week we will run happy for and proud of the men and women who have served our country!

In order to participate, you should be a member. Join our closed Facebook group anytime in May to get started.  We hope to see you at a group run soon!
