5K Badge
  • monicquemonicque November 2011
    would anyone help me to unlock these badges please...
    sadly i don't have an i-phone or any device that would enable me to access runkeeper (and get those badges!) - no chance for blackberry user :(

    any help or suggestions would be appreciated :)

    PS: esp. for those who able to speak in indonesian, tolongin doonnng :)

    Anybody Know if these RK Badges are active? I tried to pop this 5K badge for someone running a 7 minute mile with no luck??? Are any of these badges showing up on twitter?
  • ChaunceChaunce November 2011
    A mile does not equal 5K. To answer whether it is active or not, it is still active and has unlocks on Twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/Pumpsicle/status/133976079424692224
  • DanDan November 2011
    @Chaunce Sorry I actually ran 3.1 miles running a 7 minuet mile...Still haven't been able to pop it.
  • ramx370ramx370 November 2011
    @Dan .. The type of activity must be "Running" and must be done from an iDevice or an Android connected to the internet "3g" of course so that the app can use the gps..and your Foursquare account must be connected to your RunKeeper account..
    Don't forget that you need to save the activity after you tap "Stop" when you achieve 3.1 miles, and connected to the internet too..because the app will send the result to thir webpage..and you will receive the badge upon that.
    If you do all what I just mentioned, the badge will be yours 100%
  • DanDan November 2011
    @ramx370 I am using a Thunderbolt android with 4G, with the GPS on, Foursquare is linked to RK, activity has been saved and sent to RK as an update. So I have no clue as to what is going on with popping these badges. I have unlocked the badges for myself, I'm just trying to help someone else unlock them using his account.

    Does it matter if the Foursquare account is in another country? Are these badges linked to a specific region? IE USA only?
  • DanDan November 2011
    OK I just went to the RunKeeper Website in the support forum and there is a lot of people who are having troubles unlocking any of the badges right now.

    Exactly the same problem. None of these badges, I have not unlocked. I created a new RunKeeper account, connected Foursquare account, installed the app on the iPhone, made ​​all the conditions, but nothing. It's been 7 days. Sorry fo Google Translate.
  • DanDan November 2011
    @more_cats My best guess is that Runkeeper is experiencing the same update problems as the waze application had when foursquare changed their program to the API version. Until RK updates their app, these badges won't unlock.
  • JR1JR1 November 2011
    Thats not the issue. Runkeeper was still working fine after 4sqr updated their api and that was months ago. There are current unlocks listed foe all the runkeeper badges. As soon as you unlock the badge it will show up on your runkeeper acct then within 3 days show up on 4sqr. Make sure that you follow the unlock instructions and these badges should unlock. I would test it but runkeeper does not believe in creating a blackberry app. But there are unlocks daily on all their badge so they are all def still active and unlockable.
  • more_catsmore_cats November 2011
    Maybe this badge is only active for the U.S.? Because any other explanation I can no longer see.
  • DanDan November 2011
    JR, I have tried to help someone here unlock these badges with no luck at all...made sure that 4sq was linked to RK, made sure the activity was saved and sent to RK and even used a bike to go at a slow run pace and the 5K would not pop. When was the last twitter unlock for these?

    weird and strange...
  • BonsaiCatBonsaiCat November 2011
    I have tried both in Europe and in the US, no unlock! :( It's frustrating!
  • BeerknurdBeerknurd November 2011
    It is very frustrating. I have tried helping you and a few other people and have had no luck.
  • BrenBren November 2011
    I gave up on this one... I unlocked all badges and only got marathon and overachiever to show up... I also contacted Runkeeper and 4sq but of course they don't pride themselves in customer service.
    this syndrome is called overinflation of the cranium.
  • BrenBren November 2011
    unlocks as early as 7am this morning...
  • mcp7amcp7a December 2011
    Are you a elite member on runkeeper? I already try on android and iphone and still nothing.

    I start using the website a month ago, imputing manually my exercises. I LOVE IT so mush that i bought a iPhone to keep better track. I found runkeeper through square social media and i LOVE the badges and want all. So today i took my fresh new iphone and did a 5.10km run - http://runkeeper.com/user/mcp7a/activity/61727446 No 5K badge earned. So i did and upload more two exercises.
    Walking 1.04km - http://runkeeper.com/user/mcp7a/activity/61741324; and
    Elliptical 1.04km - http://runkeeper.com/user/mcp7a/activity/61745120

    SO again the supposed Warm up badge for Requirements: Track any three activities (i.e. walking, running, cycling..etc) with a distance greater than 1 kilometer. also don´t pop for me.
  • BonsaiCatBonsaiCat November 2011

  • NikmanHDjNikmanHDj January 2012
    Do run at least 3.2 miles in about 25-29 minutes. Less than 3.2 will not unlock the badge. I had unlocked it. Check this out http://t.co/vMu3fR0r
  • n758zcn758zc January 2012
    NikmanHDj - do you have an iPhone? I don't think RunKeeper is working with Android phones right now. But if you have an Android phone then I will try again.
  • nuevicnuevic April 2012
    I've tried to run from 3.2-4.0 miles without any luck. Does it has to be under 30' to unlock the badge?
  • BrenBren January 2012
    FINALLY got this one...had to create new account even tho last one showed unlocked... none the less it's in my trophy case now all I need is warm up...
  • Retired Moderator January 2012
    It works fine on Android. I got all four badges with an Android phone.
