Halloween Challenge

Some friends suggested a silly thing to celebrate Halloween, so I kinda hacked it together…
Nightmare RUN, where every street is Elm Street

I only updated the street names on the map. If I have some free time before Halloween, I might try to adjust the street lists in the challenge itself so they’ll also only display Elm Street. If I have even more free time, I might look into more design adjustments in the map … blood-red streets, etc :rofl:

Oh, and if you’re unfamiliar: A Nightmare on Elm Street - Wikipedia

Popping this up to the top of the list, since it’s getting close to the 31st.

We aren’t automatically entered into Challenge: Nightmare RUN - CityStrides - You’ll have to join from that page.

On the 31st, wherever you are in the world, run/walk as many streets as you can that day. Everything counts! Previously completed streets are eligible in this Challenge, so if you have a favorite 100-street route get on it! :rofl:

Cool! Mapbox posted it on Instagram

It was fun to change the map style just for Nightmare RUN

Is the reverse true as well, anything (new) you’d run is not recorded?

No, I don’t think it is.

On the 31st, if you’ve joined the Challenge, anything you run/walk that day counts towards your progress within the Challenge. If you have a street that’s part of a regular route you’ve run hundreds of times, it counts for this Challenge. If you run a brand new street that you have never run before, it counts for this Challenge.

Nothing shows in this challenge? Is it not processed until midnight?

I need to fix some stuff, it’s not seeing it as eligible/active. I’m heading out on my run, and I’ll fix it when I get back.
