Start again tomorrow! Don’t beat yourself up, just get back on schedule the next day!

Every five days we will pick a random name to win a prize. We have Great Day Squad t-shirts, great nutrition from Honey Stinger and other great prizes from our friends at On Running.

You complete a 5k every day. For every day you complete a 5k you will have one entry into the drawing. More moving means more opportunity to win!

Absolutely not! You can walk, jog, skip, hop, crabwalk, anything that involves your feet moving on the earth!

You can complete your 5k anytime that is convenient for you! The Great Day Squad will start the day with a Morning Motivation to encourage and support you in your effort to get out there! For example, your Monday run can be anytime in the 24 hour period 12:01 am through 11:59 pm.

This will be a “virtual” event allowing participants to complete the challenge wherever they are located and then record and interact with others virtually through various social platforms.

A 5k is 3.1 miles, 12.5 laps around a track, 16,404 feet and 196,805 inches.

We suggest you track your distance with any app that records distance, Strava and Nike Running Club are a couple. When you sign up to participate, you will receive a template to use if that more suits your style. Pencil not included.

You will have access to a link that will take you to a Google form you fill out and that sends your information directly to us! Or if you prefer pen and paper, send us an email at info@greatdaysquad.com and we will send you an excel or PDF tracker you can manually fill out.

It will be in your welcome email, on the GDS website and we recommend you save it since you will be coming back to it quite often. Hit us up if you can’t find it!
