THE TREADMILL CHALLENGE

The Treadmill Challenge

May 20th, 2023 - May 31st, 2023

From the 20th of May till the 31st, we’re launching a special Treadmill Challenge, encouraging runners to try out Racemate’s newest indoor running feature! The Treadmill Challenge is inspired by the world record for the greatest distance covered on a treadmill over a 12-hour period, which is held by Australian Matthew Eckford. Instead of 12 hours though, we’re giving you 12 days, in which you can run as many kilometers as you can, in the hope of reaching (and surpassing) his record of 147.3K.

If you think that’s a lot to aim for, don’t worry! You just have to run 12K (representing the number of consecutive hours Eckford ran) to earn your medal and have it sent directly to your home address, wherever you might be in the world.
