Rules & Data Collection:
-
Runners will enter the number of repeats run each week through their RunReg account. Please make sure you keep up with this. There is a leader board and it is in the spirit of a fair competition for those looking to win to be able to see where they fall.
-
When entering your hills you enter the NUMBER OF REPEATS. It says miles, but we do NOT want decimal points. If you run 3 Oggs and get 3.14 miles you still just enter 3.
-
We will send an additional email at the start of the challenge reiterating how to enter your totals. You can email teamsparklellc@gmail.com if you are having any trouble uploading.
-
All hills run between April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 count towards the challenge.
-
The final date to upload hills will be January 7, 2024. After that winners will be announced and no more uploads will be accepted.

You are completely responsible for your safety when running. You must run during open park hours and be aware that it is a trafficked and open road. Run against traffic, make yourself seen, and be careful. We highly recommend lights and reflective vests. We’ve had runners make and place runners on the road signs at the top and bottom of the hill while running. You are more than welcome to do so. Ogg and SIgnal Oak roads do NOT have sidewalks. 55th street has a sidewalk for runners.
