🤘 Rules
BEAST runs
BEAST runs are runs which collect devil horns (🤘).
BEAST runs form multiples of "666" in distance or in elevation:
- Runs which have a distance of 6.66km or a multiple.
- Runs which have elevation gain (D+) of 666m or a multiple.
Examples of valid running activities:
- Runs with distances 6.66km, 13.32km, ... 66.6km, ....
- Runs with elevation gain of 666m, 1332m, 1998m, ...
You can run outdoor on road/trail or run virtual on a threadmill in your local gym.
Bonuses apply only to BEAST runs!
tip
Press stop on your watch/phone exactly on the 6.66km distance multiple or 666m elevation multiple.
A margin of ~22.5m +- will be accepted to avoid you have to manually cut the recording.
danger
Examples of runs which don't count (since they don't show something 666-related):
- A run with distance 7.77km.
- A run with elevation of 1500m.
Devil horns for running/elevation
- 1x 🤘 per 6.66km distance multiple
- 3x 🤘 per 666m elevation gain (D+) multiple
Examples:
- a run of 13.32km gives 🤘🤘
1*2=2devil horns. - a run of 1332m elevation gain gives 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
2*3 = 6devil horns.
Per-BEAST-run Bonus

BEAST Strava Art
Required to add #RWTB or #RunWithTheBeast as well.
Additional tags can be added as we see the challenge grow.

| Tag in the name/description | Description | 🤘 extra |

| #Topless | Run without naked upper body | 1 🤘 |
| #BandShirt | Run with your favorite band shirt | 1 🤘 |

Example
You do a beast run of 13.32km and start it on 06:06:06 in the morning wearing a #bandshirt.
You press stop on the 13.32km distance.
- 13.32km = 2x 6.66km = 2x 🤘
- Start at 06:06:06 = 1.5x 🤘
- Bandshirt = 1x 🤘
Total reward for that run is 4.5 devil horns (🤘's).
Smart bonuses
Running streak
Running 3 or more consecutive days causes you to go on a running streak. This counts per active day, not per activity.
Your streak "activates" from 3 days with runs.
When you are on a streak, the length of the streak and every run becomes more valuable.
The longer you are on a streak, the more valuable it becomes.
This will motivate you to stay on the streak and push through the wall of death!
If you miss a day, your streak ends and the next streak restarts from 0.
Calculation per-beast-run multiple extra bonus: bonus = streak_days * 0.1
Examples:
- when you have a streak of 10 days, you get on the 10th run an additional full 🤘 on a single BEAST run of 6.66km.
- when you are on a streak of 66 days, you get on the 66th run 6.6 extra 🤘's on a single BEAST run.
Distance wall bonuses

Overall bonus
Time Trial 6.66km PR
The faster your time is compared to the other PR's, the more 🤘's you earn.
Rewarded at the end of the challenge.
The best PR time defines how the 🤘's are distributed. 50 🤘's are distributed to the best personal record.
You earn 🤘's proportional to the median of the personal records vs the best personal record.
Example of what this means:
- when the median time is 33ms and the fastest PR is 23m.
- if you then run 28m, that means you are 5min behind the fastest, but 5min ahead of the median.
- then you get 25 🤘's, because the 50 🤘's are distributed over the 10 minutes between the median and the best PR.
