ALQ Ultras 12 Running Days of Christmas

Join the 12 Runs of Christmas Challenge!



Hey runners! Get ready to celebrate the season with our 12 Runs of Christmas Challenge, starting on Sunday December 7th! Each day, you’ll run an increasing distance, from 1 kilometer on Day 1 to 12 kilometers on Day 12 (Thursday, December 18th).



How It Works:

• Run at your own pace and location each day!

• Day 1 (1 kilometer): We will have a special voluntary Strava challenge at Pemberton Park in Salisbury, you can choose to run the 1 kilometer anywhere you prefer if you’re not aiming for a podium spot for day one.

• Day 5 (5 kilometers) and Day 10 (10 kilometers), we’ll have special voluntary Strava challenges in: Salisbury area, Ocean City / Berlin area, The Eastern Shore Virginia and St. Michaels.

• Participation in these challenges is optional! You can also run these distances anywhere you’d like.

Podium Spots for 1k, 5K and 10K:

• For those competing in the Day 1, Day 5 and Day 10 challenges, podium spots will be awarded based on performance in the segments. So yes, top three men and women at Pemberton Day 1 and top three men and women at the four 5k and 10k locations on days 5 and 10. For those math people that is potentially 54 different podium winners.

Wait! That's not all.... Exciting Gifts Each Day!

• Each day, we’ll have gifts up for grabs in a lottery style. The number of gifts matches the day: Day 1 has 1 gift, Day 2 has 2 gifts, and so forth, up to Day 12.

• All runners are eligible, and each runner can only win once.

Registration Details:

• When you register, you’ll receive an awesome swag item to celebrate the 12 runs!
• Oh, and Yes, The Reindeer run does fall on Day 7 which is 7 kilometers (4.35 miles)

This is a fantastic way to stay motivated, connect with fellow runners, and spread some holiday cheer! Let’s get moving and enjoy the season together!



Happy running!
