Challenge rules and calculation of the points scored by the organisation
The Challenge starts on 22 July 2024 and ends on 1 September 2024 (inclusive). The winners and runners-up of the Challenge shall be determined by:
1) the sum of the kilometres run by the organisation’s employees (data from the organisation’s Strava Club, Strava records the 100 most kilometres run) for the entire Challenge period: 22 July 2024, ending 1 September 2024. The Strava Club data is read every Sunday from 20:00, so only kilometres run by club members before 20:00 in the current week will be counted;
2) the number of participants registered by the organisation in the Vilnius Marathon 2024 in the marathon, half marathon, 10 km and 5 km distances. Participants registered by the organisation must indicate the name of the organisation in the registration data next to the club information. Participants registered up to and including 1 September 2024 are counted.
Points will be awarded for registrations in individual distances: marathon – 5, half marathon – 3, 10 km – 2, 5 km – 1
The number of Strava kilometres completed and the number of participants registered for the Vilnius Marathon 2024 shall have equal weight in the final calculation of the points collected by the organisation. The organisation with the most kilometres in its own classification receives 1,000 points, while the number of points of all other organisations in the same classification is calculated according to the gap with first place. The same scoring principle will be applied for the number of registered participants.
R = Td/Tn x 1000
Td – number of kilometres collected by the organisation / number of registered participants in the Vilnius Marathon 2024 Tn – number of kilometres collected by the winner / number of registered participants in the Vilnius Marathon 2024
The final number of points scored by an organisation in the Running Challenge is calculated by adding the points for kilometres run and registered participants.
Organisations compete in separate categories based on the number of employees:
Large organisation > 250 employees;
Medium organisation 50 – 250 employees;
Small organisation < 50 employees.
