The 1-Hour Run
Run as far as you can in one hour. When the hour is up, that's your score, and the further you got, the more tickets you earn.
Once it's installed, find The 1-Hour Run in the Challenges feed.
60 minutes. Go.
Start your watch and run as far as you can in one hour. Once the hour is up, the distance you covered is your score.
It's based on elapsed time, so stopping at the lights still eats into your hour. Track it on a GPS wearable and log the exact distance you ran in 60 minutes or less.
Go further. Earn more.
Every qualifying run earns tickets into Harry's monthly prize draw. Here's what each distance is worth.
Live leaderboard and draw details are in the app.
One hour. Not a second more.
Your run has to be done between Monday 14 September 2026 and Monday 14 December 2026, and your score is the distance you'd covered when the hour ran out. Any of these and it won't count.

A one-hour run flips a normal race around. Instead of running a set distance as fast as you can, you run for a set time, 60 minutes, and go as far as you can. Your distance is your score.
It's a proper athletics event too, run on the track, which tells you how honest a test it is. There's nowhere to hide: start too fast and the final 20 minutes are a grind, start too easy and you leave distance on the table.
For most people it's a great way to see what their aerobic engine can actually do, and a target to beat next time.
