Challenges are a fun, competitive, and creative way to push yourself, take on your friends, or run with the entire community in the NRC App. When you complete a Challenge, you’ll earn a new trophy under your Achievements. There are three types of NRC Challenges:

• Individual Challenges are your opportunity to push yourself to a specific distance within a certain amount of time. It’s a great way to stay consistent with your running or get back in the game after some time off.
  
• Community Challenges are your chance to be part of a global running team! You’ll run virtually side-by-side with NRC runners to achieve a collective distance goal, often to support great causes.
  
• You can even create a custom Challenge. You can set your distance, start and end time, and invite friends to battle it out on asphalt, trails, or treadmills. The top three finishers will earn a gold, silver, or bronze medal Achievement.

To join or create a Challenge, tap the Club tab (iOS) or Challenges tab (Android), then tap “Create a Challenge”* or tap on any Challenge to join or learn more.

Now get running!
