Intro
TheGingerRunner’s 2018 Global Run Recap is worth checking out—we’ve condensed the highlights here so you can jump straight into the workout. Watch the full video for all the context and details.
Key Points
- The Global Run spans 2 hours across trails worldwide, with runners competing for total distance, elevation gain, or simply the most fun (donuts absolutely count).
- This year featured a double-summit push on “Little Sigh” mountain, with a flexible route you can extend by adding an extra loop for those chasing extra mileage.
- There’s no mandated pace or predetermined distance—any solid 2-hour effort qualifies, making it accessible for runners of all abilities.
- The event celebrates community spirit, scenic stops along the way, and the flexibility to start whenever works for you.
Workout Example
2‑Hour Double‑Summit Trail Run
- Find a nearby trail or hill that fills a 2-hour window when you factor in all the climbing and descending.
- Work two high points into your route—mimicking the “double summit” structure of the original challenge.
- If you complete your loop early, tag on an additional lap or distance to use up your full 2 hours.
- Make enjoyment the priority: capture some photos, take in the scenery, and concentrate on total distance and elevation rather than raw speed.
