What is the Hungover Run Club?

The Hungover Run Club is a virtual, international run club that is equal parts joke and sport. The purpose is to show people that you can go out on the weekends, have a great time, enjoy a couple bevs, and still get your ass up and run the next morning.

Movement is meant to add to your life, not make you a hermit. The Hungover Run Club shows you how.

What is the Winter Miles Challenge?

The Winter Miles Challenge is a charity competition to keep you moving through holiday hangovers and seasonal depression. Anyone can find motivation, but it takes a special kind of crazy to get up and get after it in January.

How does it work?

• We start at 5 total miles, on Sunday, Nov 16.

• Add 2 miles every week through January 31, broken up into however many runs you need

• All runs must be logged on Strava, done outdoors, and completed before midnight on Saturday.

• If you don’t hit your miles, you’re out.

Where does the money go?

Our charity this year is the Sunrise Day Camp!

Sunrise Association brings the joys of childhood to children with cancer and their siblings worldwide. They offer welcoming, inclusive day camps, year-round programs and in-hospital recreational activities, all completely free of charge.

Thank you for your donation to this amazing cause!

What about weather?

Indoor miles are only allowed for extreme weather events, with a Strava “permission slip” aka a photo of the weather you believe to be too dangerous to run in. Otherwise…suck it up buttercup.
