5K Badge
  • ChaunceChaunce April 2011
    Warm Up
    How to unlock:
    1. Create an account with RunKeeper
    2. Link your account to Foursquare (Settings > Apps)
    3. Download RunKeeper app (iOS or Android only)
    4. Log a run activity that is 5k (3.1 mile) (by phone GPS).
    5. Distance needs to be at least 3.1 miles and not much over, 5 miles won’t unlock it.
    6. Travel at a realistic speed when "running"

    Unfortunately RunKeeper doesn't plan on having BlackBerry app.
    ALSO, MANUAL ENTRIES THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS THIS BADGE

    Why can't I unlock this badge? Did everything! Or do I need to unlock the warm up badge first then the rest? Pls advise ....
  • AlexJuniorAlexJunior May 2011

  • neiceek October 2011

  • mcp7amcp7a October 2011

  • rexauration November 2011
    hey there.i really want those 4 badges but it seems all i have done has come up with zero result just like darrensaturnic.are you still helping people buddy?do you mind helping me too?
  • sasskat49 April 2012
    I'm having the same issue as DarrenSaturnic. I have followed the instructions and have only been able to unlock the first badge. I'm getting my cardio but no badge at the finish line. LOL Positive I lost 2 pounds. lol I Will totally let you try to unlock them for me.
  • ChaunceChaunce May 2011
    The directions are pretty specific, you can unlock this with a 5k run done on the mobile app using the GPS entry.
  • bronson25bronson25 May 2011
    u need to use GPS to do this, cannot key in manually. I unlock all the 4 badges by using GPS.
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    How long does it generally take once the activities are logged before the badge hits your foursquare account?
  • JR1JR1 May 2011
    For me it was normally a few hours before i got the badge.. Prob around 2-4 hrs however the longest one was next day.
  • ChaunceChaunce May 2011
    I had received mine the next day as well. Try giving it a day and see if that works.
  • vecvec May 2011
    Make sure that you have the badge in your Runkeeper account. If you don't see it there then it won't be in Foursquare either.
  • ChaunceChaunce May 2011
    Also, did you post it as a run activity?
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    Yes I did, and thanks everyone for the help. I got the badge this afternoon. I ran a little over 3 miles this morning using the app (and logged as a run activity) to see if it would work. I finished my run around 10:30am, and got the badge around noon. Although, my activity was not uploaded (or synched) with the RunKeeper site until around noon, which is when my badge was unlocked.
  • AlexJuniorAlexJunior May 2011
    For me,it's right away
  • iamciamc May 2011
    I have the 5K award showing in RunKeeper, but not Foursquare. Any ideas on how to correct?
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    As it states in the instructions above, go to the runkeeper website (runkeeper.com), log-in, go settings (upper right hand corner), the click on Apps on the left, and click "Connect to Foursquare." Then log-in with your Foursquare account, click "allow" to give it permission to connect, and you're all set.
  • iamciamc May 2011
    @RainWave23 I've done that already...and I DO have the other runkeeper badges, just seems the 5K is gliched on me.
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    That's very strange. Have you tried "resending to runkeeper.com" from your app?
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    Well I'm currently having issues with the other badges. I've got the 5K and the Marathon badge, but I don't have the Overachiever or Warm-Up Badge. I've done 6 total activities, over 3 days, and haven't gotten it. All activities were logged from my phone using GPS, and I got credit for the marathon and 5K, so I'm confused why the others haven't worked. Are there other criteria for those badges I'm missing? Do the activities have to be a certain length of time each or anything?
  • AlexJuniorAlexJunior May 2011
    I've benn thorough this problem,the solution is,you have to create a new Runkeeper ID,and connect it to you 4sq acc and Run the activities again.
  • iamciamc May 2011
    I can try creating a different account. I did resend to runkeeper but nothing. I think the biggest problem is that runkeeper HAS awarded me the 5K ribbon, it shows in my history, it's just pushing to foursquare
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    @iamc - if it makes you feel any better, I've done 5 different activities on two accounts (both linked to my foursquare account, both from my phone using GPS), and yet no overachiever badge. I've done one over 3 days, no warm-up badge. I'm not sure what the issue is.
  • AlexJuniorAlexJunior May 2011
    iamc,create a new account,use a simple email and password,connect it to your 4sq and let me know.I just wanna help.
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    budakpro - I just sent you a message about helping me and if you're still willing to get the badges for me if I give you my ID and password for RunKeeper (yes it's already linked)
  • AlexJuniorAlexJunior May 2011
    Make sure to connect it with foursquare.
  • johnnywsandjojojohnnywsandjojo October 2011
    hi... can you help me unlock this badge and the others runkeeper badges?
  • RainWave23RainWave23 May 2011
    I can say, for anyone having issues with these badges, if you've done it legit (like I did) and got no badge, talk to budakpro. He can get the badges for you. He did it for me in about 10 minutes!
  • iamciamc May 2011
    Just sent @budakpro a message :)
  • iamciamc May 2011
    bowing to @budakpro~ thank you!
