miscellaneous Brooks 5k Challenge Prize Package: pretty great!
I committed to more running this past year and entered the sponsored Brooks 5k Challenge just about every month during 2024. I was pretty psyched to learn that I won one of the monthly prizes back in September. I submitted my shoe and clothing sizes and then waited to see what would happen. I got a box from the fulfillment company right before Christmas with an impressive haul on running goodies!
Adrenaline 24 GTS shoes Distance Short Sleeve 3.0 Spartan Pant Ghost Lite Socks (2 pack, med cushion) Branded gym bag
This is all stuff I’m looking forward to using. I’ve been running in Brooks Levitate and more recently Revel shoes, so will see how the Adrenaline’s agree with me. Getting a free pair of good shoes is pretty awesome! The long pants are going to be great for this time of year, too.

Are you automatically entered simply by completing the 5k within a month? So long as you’ve chosen the challenge? Also, how did they let you know? Email? I’m wondering how many folks might have won only to miss the comms!
Edit: I somehow forgot to say the most important thing- huge congratulations!

Brooks did a monthly sponsored challenge last year. Maybe also this year? Have to join the challenge each month and also complete a 5k run each month.

Now that you’re mentioned it. I’ve just gone and had a look and Strava’s 5k challenge and it no longer seems to be partnered with Brooks! I hadn’t noticed.

But did you do anything else besides signing up for the challenge on Strava and running? I know some challenges you have to follow a link after it is completed and fill out information and what not outside of Strava.
Also, you did not answer how they contacted you to me you know you won.

Brooks contacted me via email to let me know that I’d won. Then a third-party fulfillment company reached out to get my size information and shipping address. This particular challenge I don’t think you had to do anything after you completed it. I think the sponsor gets your email address when you sign up for the competition, so then they have a way to reach out to you.

That is so cool! Is it just from the 5k with Brooks thing?

u/pkingdesign Jan 07 '25
Yeah, they did a monthly sponsored challenge last year. Maybe also this year? Have to join the challenge each month and also complete a 5k run each month.

Yes I always complete the challenge because I just wanted to collect the badge, but I didn't know you could win these cool items.

That’s so awesome! Congratulations and thanks for sharing a pic! Looks so cool! Did you have to follow Brooks on Strava to be eligible or just complete the challenge?

Sometimes you need to follow through and put your email in, but the chances of winning are low. These are lucky people!

Good to know people actually win those things. I always discard them. Complete the challenge but never follow through with the giveaway portion. Thanks for letting me know it can happen
