Welcome to Running Challenges! This Chrome extension / Firefox Add-on allows you to play games with your parkrun results, including tourist challenges and tracking your volunteering at parkrun. Each completed challenge gives you a badge on your profile to show off to all your friends!
To use this extension you must be using the Chrome/Firefox Web Browser on a laptop/desktop computer, or Firefox for Android - it is not available to install on Apple iPhones/iPads. The extension is published in the Chrome and Firefox webstores, see the getting started page for more detailed instructions.
