Super Sunday Challenge: a different kind of virtual race
By now, we assume you're familiar with the virtual race concept. They've been around for years and have obviously gotten more popular during the pandemic. We've been doing virtual run/walk challenges for years, but we'd never done a virtual race. For Super Sunday 2021, we dreamed up a different kind of virtual race concept. Why limit it to just one distance, or one attempt, or one day? With the help of RaceMenu's technology, we offer you the option to run one, some, or all seven race distances as often as you'd like during the challenge. On top of that, you won't even need to decide the race distance in advance. You decide the race distance when you decide to stop the watch.
Super Sunday Challenge 2022: Sunday Feb 13th to Sunday March 20th
Races can be run as often as you'd like, in any order, at any location, at any time, on any day between 10:00AM Sunday February 13th and 2:00PM Sunday March 20th.
No need to run with your phone! Results are submitted via the Raceday Pulse app. All your results will be saved, and your fastest time for each distance counts for that race's leaderboard. If you run with a Garmin device, your result(s) will be imported automatically via Garmin Connect*. Otherwise, you input results manually. We encourage you to upload a photo of your tracking app or watch with your result(s), but it is not mandatory.
Mighty Runner presented by Mighty Squirrel
Anyone who completes all seven race distances will have their cumulative time displayed on the Mighty Runner leaderboard. We will have awards for people on this leaderboard, and while ranked by overall time, our awards will be geared towards runners who get on it soonest or in the most creative manner, regardless of speed. We'll have more to say on this topic once the competition is under way!
Race Distance Conversions
1K = .62 miles
1M = 1.61 km
5K = 3.11 miles
5M = 8.05 km
10K = 6.21 miles
10M = 16.09 km
Half Marathon = 13.11 miles or 21.1 km
*Importing via Garmin Connect
Results are imported after syncing Raceday to your Garmin Connect account. Your run must be saved in Garmin with a distance between the race distance +.1 mile. For example, if you're running the 5K race, the distance on your Garmin device must be between 3.11 and 3.21 miles. For example, if your "5K" distance is 3.10 miles or 3.22 miles, it will not be imported. If you're running the 5K, 10K, or half and your device displays mileage but does not show two decimal places, we recommend running ~250 feet past the point where your device displays 3.1 for a 5K, 6.2 for a 10K, or 13.1 for a half to ensure you reach the required distance for it to be imported automatically. Don't stress about it though, you can still submit the result manually if it does not sync via Garmin Connect.
One race per run--no double-counting!
Only one result per run counts. You can use your time at the 5K mark during your 5 mile run for the 5K race, but then you can't also use that run for your 5M race result. Although you can run the 5K and 5M back to back as long as you run at least 8.11 miles!
