This is the first R(un)Common event. The goal is simply to engage in uncommon pursuits for the benefit of the common good. R(un)CommonNYE is based on a challenge to run 24 miles in one day. BUT–you can make the R(un)Common anything that is a challenge to you. It’s virtual. You don’t need to submit a time. Nobody is checking up on you. The idea is to wrap up 2021 and welcome in 2022 in a good way–moving our bodies and donating to a good cause at the same time. All proceeds from R(un)CommonNYE will be donated to the Healthy Community Initiative (HCI), a local Rice County collaborative that supports, values, and empowers youth. Trust me, it’s a good cause!!

So, how does it work??? Basically, you choose your own goal–24 miles, 12 miles, a 5K–whatever works for you. You can even push beyond the 24 miles if that’s where you’re at. You pick.

The inspiration for the R(un)Common NYE is completing 1 mile each hour for 24 hours yielding a total of 24 miles. Then, you reach your goal and ring in the New Year on a good note. 

Other Possible formats:

• 1x1x24 (1 mile each hour for 24 hours)
• 4x4x24 (4 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours)
• 2x4x24 (scale back to 2 miles every 4 hours for a total of 12 miles)
• 1×4 (1 4-mile run)
• 1×3.1 (5K straight forward)
• 4x4x48 (4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours…a whopping 48 miles!)
• 8x8x24 (8 miles every 8 hours for 24 hours…3 runs for the full 24)

You get the idea…set a goal and get out there and run. Bid adieu to 2021 and celebrate a new (healthy!) start to 2022.
