New Peloton Badge & Flash Challenge – “Achieve Your 26.2” Challenge

Peloton has announced a new flash challenge in honor of the fall marathon season – and specifically for the upcoming New York City Marathon.

The new challenge is called the “Achieve your 26.2” challenge.

Members can now opt into the Achieve your 26.2 Challenge via the website, through your Peloton Tread touchscreen, or from the digital App. The official challenge description reads:

It’s time to lace up for marathon season. Earn gold when you walk or run a total of 26.2 miles from 10/26 to 11/3.

There are three badge tiers available: running/walking 26 miles earns you a gold badge; running/walking 13 miles earns you a silver badge; and running/walking six miles earns you a bronze badge. Classes must be completed between the dates of October 26 and November 3.

This challenge was first teased earlier this month in the October “Workouts to Watch” email.

In case you missed it, we recently shared that Peloton has announced numerous special classes in advance of the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon: a marathon race prep class with Becs Gentry and marathon legend Meb Keflezighi; and the first-ever live run to take place on the platform with Robin Arzón.

In addition, Peloton is also hosting numerous in-person events with the New York Road Runners (NYRR).
