Features & Capabilities

The Running Challenges Chrome extension enriches your parkrun athlete results page by displaying your progress towards multiple unique running challenges. Earn badges such as 'Tourist', 'Alphabeteer', and 'Stopwatch-Bingo' by completing different tasks and running feats. Volunteers can also collect purple badges by assisting regularly, leveling up with stars for repeated involvement.

This tool not only motivates runners to explore new goals but also adds a social element by allowing you to view friends' challenge statuses. Note that while primarily designed for Chrome, a Firefox version exists in beta. Running Challenges is an independent project created by parkrun enthusiasts to add extra fun to the parkrun community experience. For more details, visit https://running-challenges.co.uk.

Either it's too complicated for me to install this add-on or it just doesn't work. Either way it only gets 1⭐ for being unusable

Is Running Challenges Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Running Challenges requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Running Challenges has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
