Going the Distance: Base Mile Blast Results

Posted by Strava Admin on February 3rd, 2012

From January 6-31, we challenged runners and riders all over the world to put on as many miles as possible. Our expectations were high, but we were blown away by what was accomplished.

1,201 runners participated in the Run Base Mile Blast, running a total of 63,582 miles. That’s more than 2x around the earth in under 1 month! 7,020 cyclists participated in the Ride Base Mile Blast, riding 2,506,492 miles. That’s more than 5 trips from the earth to the moon AND back.

Runners and riders set personal distance goals for January and worked hard to meet or beat them. Some made it to the top 100, some set PRs, while others focused on consistency. No matter the approach, we all suffered. Of the Challenge participants, we’d like to acknowledge a small handful for their extraordinary feats:

First Runner to Reach 125 Miles

  • Kathy Davies -Fremont, CA
  • Gerry Hoyte – Harsewinkel, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

Congrats! Kathy and Gerry have earned themselves a Strava phone sleeve and run cap!

First Rider to Reach 1000 Miles

  • Jennifer Wheeler – Tucson, AZ
  • Matthew Carnal – Tulsa, OK

Congrats! Jennifer and Matt have earned themselves a Strava phone sleeve and socks!

Most Miles Run

  • Jojo Reuland – San Francisco, CA – 252 miles
  • Gerry Hoyte – Harsewinkel, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany – 333 miles

Congrats! Jojo and Gerry have earned themselves a Strava tech tee!

  • Katie Evans – San Francisco, CA – 1,479 miles
  • Matthew Carnal – Tulsa, OK – 3, 347 miles

Congrats! Joanie and Matt and have earned themselves a Strava jersey!
