Are you ready to take on 2025? If so, then lace up your running shoes, and let’s get started!
With the new year on the horizon, it’s a good time to set 2025 running goals and start following realistic process to meet them. But we all know that New Year’s resolutions aren’t the way to go. They often create unrealistic pressure and guilt-ridden fear of failure. Also, let’s face it, most New Year’s resolutions are broken or forgotten before the end of January. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be eager to achieve your fitness and 2025 running goals.
You vs the Year 2025
What else is there? Here’s a fun challenge that can keep you motivated all year long with built-in steps to success and unlimited opportunities to restart if your running fervor hits a roadblock and stalls out when life gets in the way. It’s called You vs. The Year 2025, a MapMyRun challenge to run (or walk) 1,025 kilometers between January 1 and December 31. That’s roughly 637 miles or about 12 miles per week spread over 365 days—a great way to galvanize your fitness and running goals. (That might be a great place to start, but if you want a higher goal, you can make your own adaptation to the program and shoot for 2,025 kilometers—or any other goal equivalent in miles that you choose.)
To keep you motivated and celebrate your hard work, all participants who complete the challenge will be entered to win the ultimate race weekend package from Brooks, including a race entry stipend for you and a friend, a Brooks eGift card, and $2,000 to use toward travel and lodging.
You can log up to two runs or walks per day, and any kilometers from other challenges throughout the year will count toward your You vs.The Year 2025 total.
Let’s make 2025 your year—one kilometer at a time. Get started today and keep your momentum going all year long!
