## Description

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.

The Running Challenges Firefox add-on is highly valued by parkrun enthusiasts for enriching their experience with additional stats, badges, and maps that motivate participation. However, many users report significant compatibility issues on Firefox for Android due to dropped extension support, and occasional malfunctions following parkrun website updates.
