Since the challenge organized by the last board was such a hit, we decided to organize a brand new challenge! The challenge officially starts at the 1st of April and lasts until the 31st of May.
Information
How?:
You can earn points through challenges. Some challenges will challenge your running skills, some will challenge your dedication and some… are special. In order to show you have completed a challenge you will have to message Ruben about the points you earned. He can ask you for proof, so make sure you have some. Ruben will keep track of score and will give weekly updates. Ruben’s number can be found in the Boemel group chat.
Who are you competing with, and what for?:
This challenge will only be for members of Parcival. But don’t worry if you’re not a member yet. You can still sign up as a member and join the challenge at any time during these two months!
At the end of the two months we add all the earned points from participants together and you will receive a reward relative to your score. The winner gets an additional prize. The final score will be announced at the clubweekend! (So be there!)

Faq:
Q: What is considered training?
A: A training session is only considered an official training if the trainer is either Armand, Kees or substitute
Q: How can I improve my time if I haven’t joined a race before this challenge yet?
A: You can run a trial to measure your time with one of the care committee members
Q: What is a care challenge?
A: A care challenge is a challenge proposed by a member of the care committee at the beginning of a training. You can win multiple times, but each training only has one winner.
