Running Challenges

Adds challenge progress information to your parkrun athlete results page.

What is Running Challenges?
The Firefox add-on 'Running Challenges' enhances your parkrun athlete results by adding challenge progress details and badges to your page. As you participate in parkruns, this neat extension tracks your accomplishments towards challenges like becoming a 'Tourist', an 'Alphabeteer', and more. It goes beyond running, promoting volunteering at parkrun events by offering purple volunteer badges. The extension was developed by dedicated parkrunners, unaffiliated with parkrun, striving to spread the fun.

Summary

Use your parkrun results to complete running challenges and get badges on your profile! Become a 'Tourist', 'Alphabeteer', shout full-house in 'Stopwatch-Bingo' and many more! But why should runners have all the fun? Collect the purple volunteer badges too by helping out each week at parkrun, and level up by doing a role 5 times or more to gain stars.

This extension augments your athlete results page to include your progress towards the available challenges - and adds an extra badge below your name at the top when you have completed each one. You can also have a look how your friends are doing by browsing their profiles too.
