Can I run anytime, anywhere?

Absolutely! We’ve embraced the flexibility of virtual runs, so you can now log your runs from the comfort of your own path, no organized events needed. Whether you use Strava, Garmin Connect, MapMyRun, or other tracking apps, just make sure your profile is set to public. This way, our 12in12.run team can easily verify your achievements.

Looking for some event inspiration? Check out our Pinterest boards—you might be surprised at the number of exciting local events waiting for you!

A quick note for marathon enthusiasts: If you’re aiming for The 100 Marathon Club, please remember that virtual runs don’t count. Check their website for more details.

Do I have to run 1 event per month?

Not necessarily! While the original 12in12 challenge is based on running one event per month, we understand that life can get in the way. If you complete 12 marathons within your chosen timeframe (e.g., 12 marathons in 12 months), it’s perfectly fine if two or more happen in a single month.

And remember, 12in12.run isn’t just for marathoners—we’ve got 5K challenges too! If you’re new to running, why not aim for 12 5Ks in 12 months? It’s a great way to build momentum and catch the running bug!
