I RUN AMUCK – Commit. Persist. Endure

The I RUN AMUCK club exists to challenge runners and walkers to stay fit by completing a 5k or half marathon each month for twelve consecutive months (or longer!).

We stand on the following key principals:

• Commit. You must be determined to take on this challenge and have confidence in yourself. If you don’t believe you can accomplish your goal you won’t.
• Persist. You must go on resolutely and stubbornly in the face of adversity. You may be challenged by injury, social obligations, or anything else life throws at you.
• Endure. You must continue on without yielding until you achieve your goal. You will succeed where others don’t by not giving up.

This isn’t easy, nothing that is has much significance. The fact is not everyone has the wherewithal to commit to twelve months of fitness and ever changing weather conditions; those that do are exceptional.

Join us in our quest to “Commit. Persist. Endure” and be exceptional.

You can choose to run or walk a 5k each month (3.1x12 Challenge) or a half marathon each month (13.1x12 Challenge) (half marathon/month); whichever aligns with your fitness goal. It’s a rolling year so you can start NOW. Races can be completed in several ways that give you the flexibility to get your monthly run in the books (See the Racebook).

Feel free to contact Barb O'Brien or Scott Cranfill if you have any questions.

13.1x12 was the original challenge of the I RUN AMUCK club with the first race held on January 22, 2011. It was started by marathoners looking for more time in their “real life” i.e. they didn’t have time to train for another marathon but wanted a way to stay fit and challenged. 

The 13.1x12 challenge will give you just that- It’s a chance to do something that just crazy people do: run or walk a half marathon for 12 consecutive months. That’s 157.2 total race miles! 

Details about the 13.1x12 challenge:

Complete a I RUN AMUCK half marathon race, other organized half marathon, or a personal route (details below) each month for 12 months. It’s a rolling year so you can start ANYTIME. 

Each half marathon must be completed within the month and you must include official evidence provided to the organizing committee (I RUN AMUCK race results, online race results, or GPS evidence accepted). 

So what if you can’t travel to some warm weather climate to run/ walk a race? What if you can’t find an official race to run? Oh, we have you covered: 

I RUN AMUCK races will be held in the Indianapolis area each month (see the Race Calendar). Races will be officially timed, on course drinks/snacks, and post-race drinks/snacks provided. Plus, we always finish our I RUN AMUCK runs with a social gathering at a local eating/drinking establishment. What more do you need? 

Other organized race - You pick. Select a half marathon in your town, where you travel on business or vacation, or anywhere else in the world! 

Personal route - If you can’t make one of these races you can still be "official". Just record your run/walk via a GPS device like a Garmin watch, post your run or walk on our "Racebook", and email us the GPS info. We will use this as your official monthly race. 

3.1x12 is the newest challenge of the I RUN AMUCK club and kicks off with our first race on January 21, 2012. The founders as 5k runners and knew they had lots of friends who would love the challenge of running or walking a 5k every month of the year. 

The 3.1x12 challenge will give you the chance to do something crazy and run or walk a 5k for 12 consecutive months. You will meet other great runners/ walkers and be able to meet the fitness challenge that will keep you healthy and happy.
