January Run 200K & 300K Challenges?

[TrailJunky]

Just wondering why I can't find the January Run 200K & 300K Challenges?

Scout - thanks, I’ve put my comment on the other ‘idea’ as requested. But TJ is spot on - for distance running, it’s a mix of time and mileage. Please reconsider!

[MattBrewis]

Agree - these appear to have been removed, as well as walks now counted towards running targets. A poor change - please add them back in. A useful motivational challenge to collect 12 300k/200k trophies a year

Why have you not replied to the increasing number of questions on this matter?

As moderator, can we please have an update. There are a lot of people both confused and upset as to the lack of an update

[Becca12111]

Any chance someone might bother updating everyone? 

[Billhopper11]

What's going on then. Just put these badges back on. A vague answer isn't good enough

How is getting rid of perfectly good challenges going to benefit your community? The 100k a month is a solid challenge for some, but too little for others. Just add challenges but keep the ones that were there and people enjoyed?

Hey @TrailJunky,
Thanks for your post. We have made some changes to the monthly challenge goals, some goals have been modified while others have been removed and replaced with new challenge types. Additionally, some monthly challenges will now allow additional sport types to count towards completion.

How does removing and diluting challenges for dedicated runners "support the needs of our growing community"? Let me help: it does not.
