50k Ultra Badge

Former Member over 5 years ago

I ran 31.1 miles today on my treadmill. My badge didn’t load.
My steps didn’t push me to the official distance. However 31.1 miles was accomplished. Can you please load the badge to my profile?

Did you record your activity on a Garmin device. Also, outdoor badges are awarded for outdoor activities only. Meaning with a GPS track.

Read what seilogramp wrote just in the post before you:

It means, treadmill run or walk does not count

If that’s the case then I understand why I didn’t receive the credit. Unfortunate that I put in the 31.1 mile work. Thanks for your explanation.

Why unfortunate? I hope you do not run just to get a virtual badge that nobody sees anyway. You can be proud of yourself for the performance even without any badge.

That's a heartbreaker. I've run 50k races before. I cannot imagine what a grueling effort that must've been being indoors on a treadmill. Congrats!
