The MRC Fall Challenge is here and it's No-Bail November: The Rain Check Challenge
This November, no more bailing. No more excuses. Just rain, community, and good vibes -- oh, and prizes, DUH!
🌧 No-Bail November: The Rain Check Challenge
As usual, you guys showed up BIG 🙌
The reaction to the No-Bail November: Rain Check Challenge drop was incredible — and honestly, it just makes us even more fired up to launch this thing and do it alongside you.
Every year, November tries to test us. The days get shorter, the rain gets heavier, and it gets real easy to bail. But this community? We do things differently. We continue to lean in. We continue to show up. And, we make the rain part of the adventure.
Here’s the thing — this challenge isn’t about a trendy “theory” or making massive life changes in a month.
👉 It’s about not losing the momentum we’ve built together through the spring and summer.
👉 It’s about keeping the post-run energy, weekly connections, and steady KM’s tracking forward.
👉 It’s about remembering that the rain doesn’t have to slow us down and that it can actually bring us closer together! Ok, that was cheesy but it’s TRUE!
This is about consistency, not reinvention. It’s about showing up for ourselves and each other, even when it’s grey out.
🏃 So, what is it V?
The Rain Check Challenge is a month-long movement and community challenge running from November 1–30, created to keep us active, connected, and exploring the city all season long.
