What if your next training run could take you all the way to Sydney, Mallorca, or the legendary Challenge Roth?
This September, Garmin and Ahotu are turning everyday training into a global endurance adventure with the launch of the Ahotu Marathon badge challenge in Garmin Connect™.
Garmin Connect™ users who sign up and run a marathon distance during the month will earn the Ahotu Marathon Challenge badge and access an exclusive 15% discount on eligible events listed on Ahotu.com, while also having the option to enter a global sweepstakes (excluding residents of Brazil, China, India and Italy) to win a bucket-list race experience from Ahotu. Garmin Connect™ is available on mobile or web to track health and fitness activities and see in-depth data from Garmin devices.
Athletes can join the challenge through Garmin Connect™ and learn more about the badge.
Bucket-list prizes
Prizes include exclusive race packages for iconic events such as the Sydney Marathon, Challenge Roth, Mallorca 312, Palm Beach Marathon, Halong Bay Marathon, Ultra X Scotland and the Stockholm Marathon. Several of these races are highly competitive to enter, often operating through ballot systems, and packages feature guaranteed race entry alongside a range of premium inclusions that may vary by event, such as accommodation, hospitality and sightseeing experiences.
The challenge launches at a time when global participation in endurance sports is booming. Running clubs are growing faster than ever, marathon entries are selling out in record time, and September marks one of the busiest periods in the endurance calendar.
"For us at Ahotu, this campaign is about inspiring athletes to dream bigger," said Charlotte Melchert, CEO of World's Sports Group. "Every marathon starts with a single training run, and we're excited to reward athletes for showing up, putting in the work, and opening the door to some of the most sought-after endurance events in the world."
Ahotu was built to help athletes discover and book endurance events around the world. This challenge gives runners and endurance athletes the chance to transform their everyday training into unforgettable race-cation experiences.
The campaign also brings together Garmin and leading international event organizers to celebrate the growing global endurance community.
