“If you have a body, you are an athlete.” Bill Bowerman, former coach of the University of Oregon track and field team
"Doing something for yourself like running, and using it to test yourself,
will only make you feel better about your career or family role." Joan Benoit, Olympic runner

Suggestions on How to Use EARNED RUNS™ Bibs:
Pin them on*, as an INDIVIDUAL:
Race alone; use one bib number for many different events
or use each of the 4 bib numbers at 4 different events.
Pin them on*, with OTHERS:
Invite 1, 2, or 3 family members or friends to compete with
you at the same time and location or at other times or locations.
BE CREATIVE!
There are many possible ways to enjoy running, walking, hiking, biking, swimming or fitness competitions in which you set all the terms. Below are possible activities; use one or all bibs at a time, or invent something! Think "green"; re-use bibs for multiple events! Write details of each event on the front or back of bibs. Request stickers from Earned Runs. If we don't have one for your purpose, we might design and offer one suggested by you.
OTHER COMPETITIONS
'Competing' doesn't always involve crossing a finish line and measuring your effort by time. Meeting tough challenges you set for yourself is a form of competition. Become a 'STREAKER' and keep track of every consecutive day you finish the mandatory one mile of exercise activity, whether it is running, hiking, walking, biking etc,. Outlast others or beat a personal record. Are you tracking daily STEPS? Set a significantly higher level goal or a series of progressively higher marks to reach and record the number each day.
PERSONAL EPIC ADVENTURES & FASTEST KNOWN TIMES
Identify a longer route or trip to run, walk, or fast-pack hike (or combination), solo or with a group.; it can be scenic, historic, or have personal significance. Search online for information and advice in planning, and make arrangements for food/fluid and shelter support as needed, or mostly unsupported without outside assistance. Use bibs to list and check-off stages or components of your DIY epic trip. Consider attempting an official FKT (fastest known time) on an established route, or register a new route.
