Before the end of the year, you'll need to complete 6 different trails that total to a half marathon.
Trails
- See quests listed below for more details on course maps and distances.
You can complete these trails at any time, in any order. We track GPS results and calculate all kinds of things like your performance score, your equivalent pace, your vo2 max, an equalizer score so you can race yourself, and we even include an AI training plan if you're really wanting to improve.
If you stop to play in the creek, follow a caterpillar or go off trail to find the perfect stick, the GPS results my be slightly off. If the Auto Sync doesn't work, then just upload the results manually.
Want some extra motivation - if you complete all 6 courses before 2025 you will earn a medal.
We design our motivators to be unique for each challenge, and you can only earn it by submitting results for every quest. They are however very costly and make up the majority of our fee, so we also allow you to opt out for much cheaper.
To finish the challenge, you must complete each quest within the alloted timeframe.
An out and back hike in a beautiful wooded setting with multiple river crossings.
An out and back course on a relatively flat trail along a river.
An iconic loop around the lake
A delightful mix of dirt trails and smooth pavement.
A nice trail along the Clear Creek river.
A nice route through the woods in Boulder.

Welcome To A Quest Challenge!
This is more than just a regular run; it's an experience aimed at fostering motivation and personal improvement. The Day Quest offers a range of quests - Time Quests, Exploratory Quest, Treasure Quests, and Challenge Quests. Although, we believe all quests are Time Quests.
Time Quests - typically held on ideal courses to run a PR, to fly down smooth trails, or to push one's self. We require participants to upload their GPS activities to get accurate results.
Exploratory Quests - many runners find that they run the same trails regularly. This can be meditative, but in talking with many race participants, we've heard that people often register for races to explore somewhere new. We love this and want to find ideal courses that are fairly easy to follow and offer something new.
Treasure Quests - this is largely experimental, but we think treasure hunting and adventure races are awesome. For any treasure quest, each runner will be given a clue, or series of clues, after they finish. The first person to solve these clues will receive the "treasure", which could be anything from actual gold to a prize to something else (don't expect the world, but something unique).
Challenge Quests - challenge quests have a distinct goal - finish. Each challenge has a different focus or theme, but they'll almost all have multiple quests associated to them. For each challenge, we'll still track results at the individual quest level, but we'll also track your results at the challenge level.
