📣🏃 Announcement from the Amazing Admin: Get Ready for the Ultimate Running Game! 🏃📣

Attention all running enthusiasts! We are thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated running game of 2024 is starting January 1st, and it's going to be a race like no other! Lace up your sneakers and prepare to long haul towards victory, as we have some exciting changes in store for the next year!

🔸🏆🔸
In the spirit of pushing the limits and fostering healthy competition, we have decided to reduce the number of teams participating in the game to six. This change will allow for larger teams, encouraging camaraderie and teamwork. So get ready to meet up with old or new friends and form a powerhouse team that will leave everyone in the dust!

But wait, there's more! Only the top four teams at the end of the regular season will qualify for the playoffs this year. This means that every stride and every mile will count towards securing your spot among the running elite. It's time to bring your A-game, because only the dedicated and consistent will survive to have a chance at claiming the championship! This game is more like an Ultra than a sprint.

🔸🎉🔸
To make this announcement even more exciting, we couldn't resist incorporating some running puns to keep your spirits high and your feet moving:

- "Get ready to put the 'run' in 'fun' as we kick off the race of a lifetime!"

- "We're raising the bar and the pace this year. It's time to chase your dreams and leave your competitors in the dust!"

- "Remember, success isn't just about the finish line, it's about the journey. So lace up, embrace the challenge, and run like the wind!"

🔸🌟🔸

But wait, there is even more!! We know many of you share race report in your team forums already. But we bet there are others that would love to be inspired and celebrate in your incredible achievements. We will be starting a thread for you to share the your journey with the whole group. Please share. We want to hear about them and learn from you.

🔸⚠️🔸
Before we conclude, the Admin team would like to address a concern. We have received feedback regarding the length of the game, and we want to assure you that we have taken it into consideration. However, we regret to inform you that the length of the game is hard-coded into the program and cannot be changed for 2024. This is a year long commitment to the game.

🔸🏃‍♀️🔸🏃‍♂️🔸
Mark your calendars and start training, because the running game of 2024 is just around the corner! Stay tuned for further updates and get ready to unleash your inner speed demon. Let's make this year's running game unforgettable!

See you at the starting line! 🎉👟💨

Admin Disclaimer:

With the formation of less teams, you will face the same kick butt teams more often. The game may not function the same as it has in the past. It may improve or degrade the fairness of the competition. The Game has never been run with this few of teams. The bottom line is we don't know. It will be a surprise to us all.

Thank you. It's crazy how this game keeps me consistent.

Thanks to the admins who got creative and found a way to keep the game afloat. 

I may have missed it, but are we able to join the forums yet and meet our team members?

Thank you, Admins! This works for me for logging miles, for sure!

Yes Monday the forum will be open and you will be able to see what amazing team you will be on for next year. I can't wait. It is almost as good as Christmas.

 

Next week! Monday, I think.

ohh I'm glad to see the regular season matters now! Excellent change.
