Next Apple Watch Activity Challenge to Take Place on June 5 to Celebrate Global Running Day

[MacRumors]

Apple is planning a new Apple Watch activity challenge for June 5, which is Global Running Day. This is an Apple Watch activity challenge that Apple has not offered in the past, so it is a new day and a new award.

To complete the challenge, Apple Watch owners will need to record a running workout of at least five kilometers on June 5.

Hit the road, trail, track, or tread for Global Running Day! Record a running workout and go at least 5 km on June 5 to earn this special badge.

Those who complete the challenge will unlock a dedicated badge in the Fitness app along with animated stickers that can be used in the Messages and FaceTime apps.

The World Running Day challenge is the second new challenge that Apple has introduced in 2024, and it follows the May 21 Meditation Day challenge.

I'm going to pass - last time I did an AW running challenge ....

Managed to fracture no less than 3 bones in one go!

I do way more than that walking everyday... but running? I don't think I can run 5 km, especially in the spring/summer.

If you are US based, that sounds like a million court case.

It wasn't AW's fault, though.

It was because I was staring at that and not looking where I was going 🤣

About 4.971 furlongs or 0.20712 leagues.

I’m sorry to hear that.

But I think it’s worth pointing out that you’re not supposed to be running using your arms.

Running is traditionally done using only your legs.

Maybe you have someone nearby who can show you?

It’s the length of 50.000 Twinkies*.

*Assuming that one Twinkie is 10 centimeters long.

That and a couch surfing challenge day.

 

[B4U]

But what about National Hamburger Day, that is TODAY!?!?🍔
What the hell, Apple? 🤣

 

[xDKP]

As it's running it surely is supposed to look like an athletic running track and with the Apple Ring-colours. But why orange? Recovery Ring Confirmed?!

 

[svish]

The stickers look good. Ready for the challenge!
