The medal matters—but not only because it marks the finish. 🏅

It represents every day you chose to show up, especially when motivation was low.

A challenge gives your movement purpose:

💪 Consistency turns small efforts into lasting habits
🤝 Accountability helps you keep the promise you made to yourself
💙 Community reminds you that you’re never doing it alone
📈 Visible progress proves that every mile and every step counts

Crossing the finish line isn’t simply about completing a distance. It’s about realizing what you’re capable of becoming along the way.

Running has a funny way of calling you back. 🏃‍♂️

This is our friend @phillipemicheau running through the botanical gardens back in 2021.

He started running marathons in 2014 and went on to complete 12 full marathons before an injury in 2024 forced him to step away.

Earlier this year, he started running again.

Now?

🇦🇺 Sydney Marathon — August 30
🇩🇪 Berlin Marathon — September 27

That’s what we love about running.

Sometimes the challenge isn’t a PR.
Sometimes it’s not a medal.
Sometimes the biggest win is simply starting again.

Wherever you are in your journey — first mile, comeback, or marathon #13 — keep moving forward. 💪

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲𝗱.

So in 2021, I signed up. I finished the year with 419 miles.

Then I tried again in 2022. And 2023. And 2024. Every year I came up short. At first, that felt like failure. But looking back, those years taught me something important. Progress doesn't disappear just because you don't hit the goal.

Last year, a friend mentioned she does the challenge in kilometers instead of miles. Something about that felt more realistic for me. So in 2025, I set my goal at 2,025 km. And for the first time, I completed my goal.

Not because I suddenly became faster. Not because I became more talented. Not because I was more motivated. I finished because I kept showing up.

Some days I ran. Some days I walked. Some days I didn't want to do either. But the miles kept adding up.

That's probably the biggest thing Run the Year has taught me. Big goals aren't accomplished in one effort. They're accomplished by showing up over and over again, especially on the days you don't feel like it.
