FAQS
Do I have to do an exact amount of activities/miles/time each day?
NO! You can run, walk or log as many activities, as many miles, for as long as you want each day, it’s up to you! Just pick a goal that motivates you and get after it. Remember to submit each activity into your haku participant account to make sure they get counted toward the leaderboards!
Do I still receive my beanie if I don’t achieve any activity streaks?
YES! The activity streaks are goals, not requirements. All participants can pick up their custom beanie at one of the pickup dates or have the option to wait and have it mailed following the conclusion of the challenge.
