    Rules and Rewards!

    Get Started:

    • Sync your Challenge Hound account with your favorite activity tracker and get started! You can also add activites manually on Challenge Hound if needed, but we think it's far more fun to have the data. 

      • For each minute of activity you record, you'll points. As you build up points, you'll be working towards earning better prizes. Plus, check out the leaderboard to see where you stand!

      • It's important that you only log your "moving time." This means that you shouldn't count time spent on the chairlift, at the brewery post-run, or your mid-ride bathroom break. 

      • Participants will pay a $5 "motivation" fee. Science shows that when you buy-in, you're far more likely to participate. Now get out there and start logging your activites!!

     

    Prize Tiers:

    • We'll be utilizing a tiered reward system - the more you participate, the better the prizes you earn!

    • Prizes will include a free pair of shoes from HOKA , premium HOKA merchandise, free beer at Hoops Brewing, a day pass to the YMCA, and more! 

      • In order to be eligble for prizes, you must be entered into the challenge by January 15th. 

      • We'll release an "official" prize list as the registration deadline approaches.

    • The Ultra Pickle Project, or the Pickle Juice Project, is an award winning documentary following the 2023 edition of the Superior 100, one of the premier ultra-marathons in the midwest! Join Duluth Running Company and director Jeff Berg for an exclusive screening on Friday, January 24th at Clyde Iron Works.

    FAQ:

    • What about activities that don't fall into a specific category? 

      • Challenge Hound only recognizes certain activities. If your activity of choice doesn't fit into one of the pre-existing catgories, simply log it as a "Workout," and change the name of the activity to match whatever it is you did! (basketball, volleyball, etc).

    •  

      How do I redeem my bonus points for the events I attended?

      • There's a manual activity type on challenge hound titled "Event Attendance Bonus." Go ahead and change the activity name accordingly. For example, "Hoops Run Club attendance"

    • This isn't fair! My activity of choice is worth waaaay more than X points/minute! 

      • We did our bsolute best to weight all activities fairly, based on average duration, intensity, and frequency, but we aren't perfect! As one of our staff said, "My Objectively Correct Activity Weightings are in no way based on my personal biases and perceptions."
