WeDoRunning is calling on runners to help its community pass a collective milestone of 300,000 kilometres, with fewer than 1,000km remaining in its latest update.
In its update on 12 October, the community reported 299,028km logged, leaving just 972km to reach the target. The total reflects runs completed by members before work, after the school run, in wet weather and on days when getting out of the door has been a challenge.
To illustrate the scale of the achievement, WeDoRunning compares 300,000km with approximately seven and a half laps of the planet at the equator, or more than three quarters of the distance to the Moon.
Every run counts
The campaign celebrates the consistency of everyday runners and the support they give one another, rather than focusing on elite times or podium finishes.
Every run logged contributes to the milestone, whether it is a gentle 3k or a member’s longest run of the year. WeDoRunning plans to share the moment the community crosses 300,000km, alongside shout-outs to members who have helped it reach the total.
Find someone to run with
The platform’s pace and location matching helps members find other runners nearby who are moving at a similar speed. The campaign also encourages existing members to bring a friend into the community as it approaches the landmark.
Runners can share their efforts by tagging @wedorunning and using #WeDoRunning300k. The team plans to feature some of its favourite contributions as part of the celebration.
Visit WeDoRunning to log your run and be part of the milestone.
