THE EXPLORER MEDAL
12 challenges. 12 destinations. One ultimate medal.
A brand-new running challenge is coming to JoinTheRun.
Complete a 10K each month, collect a new piece of The Explorer Medal, and watch your medal come together throughout the year.
RUN. COLLECT. COMPLETE.
SOMETHING BIG IS COMING
This isn’t just another virtual challenge.
The JoinTheRun Challenge Club is built around one simple idea:
Give you a reason to keep running.
Every month, you’ll have a new 10K challenge to complete.
Every challenge unlocks another piece of The Explorer Medal.
And when you’ve completed the full journey…
You’ll have something pretty special to show for it.
