Intro

This is a quick summary of 2018 GINGER RUNNER GLOBAL RUN RECAP from TheGingerRunner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

The Global Run is a 2‑hour, worldwide trail challenge where participants aim for the most distance, elevation gain, or even the most donuts.
This year’s focus was a double‑summit on the short “Little Sigh” mountain, with a flexible route that can be extended with an extra loop if you want extra mileage.
No strict pace or distance required – any two‑hour effort counts, making it perfect for runners of all levels.
The event emphasizes community, fun checkpoints, and the freedom to start whenever you’re ready.

Workout Example

2‑Hour Double‑Summit Trail Run

Pick a local hill or trail that takes about 2 hours to complete (including ascent and descent).
Aim to reach two summits (or two high points) on the route, just like the “double summit” challenge.
If you finish early, add an extra loop or extra distance to keep the 2‑hour window full.
Keep it fun: snap photos, enjoy the scenery, and remember the goal is distance + elevation, not speed.

Closing Note

Give this 2‑hour double‑summit adventure a try this weekend – adjust the distances and climbs to match your own pace using the Pacing app. Have fun, stay safe, and keep running!
