Nov 2 – Dec 27, 2026
When the days get shorter, don't let your running routine disappear with the daylight.
The challenge starts in
No race. No countdown. No pressure to peak.
Just a reason to keep showing up for yourself, even when the days get shorter and motivation gets harder to find.
Our new Maintenance plan helps you stay active, feel good mentally, and build a running habit that lasts all winter. And with Outrun the Dark, you'll have a community doing it alongside you, plus a chance to win prizes along the way!
You can join the challenge with any Track28 plan!
Available November 2.
The sun sets earlier and motivation goes with it. Outrun the Dark rewards consistency, not perfection.
Every week you run twice, you earn an entry to win prizes from our Quebec partners. 8 weeks, up to 8 entries in the draw.
With your current plan, or a new one, like our brand-new Maintenance plan.
Move your workouts around your schedule. Missed a run? Pick it back up when you can, nothing to make up.
2 runs a week, Monday to Sunday, earns you one entry in the prize draw.
Every week, Monday to Sunday, that you complete at least 2 runs of your plan, you earn one entry in the draw.
