Nobody knew the distance.
Each night, the next day's distance went up on the app news feed and Harry's socials. Run it the next day and you earned a ticket for every kilometre, up to the day's distance.
Fall short and you still banked a ticket per kilometre you ran. You could split it across the day, treadmills counted, there was no minimum pace, and you only ran the days you wanted to.
378 runners. 30,232km of mystery.
Over 30 days of surprise distances, the field logged 2,566 daily entries in the Harry's app. Here's who ran the furthest.

A streak challenge asks you to do something every day for a set run of days. The daily target is usually modest. The challenge is turning up again tomorrow, and the day after that.
That's what makes streaks work for building a habit. You stop deciding whether to train, because the only question left is when. Most people find a time of day that sticks, early morning or straight after work, and protect it.
In the Harry's app every day you complete counts on its own, so a missed day costs you that day, not the whole challenge.
- Streak
- A run of consecutive days where you hit the target.
- Daily minimum
- The least you have to do for the day to count.
- Consistency
- Showing up often, the thing streak challenges reward most.
