Streets carries no series background, no painter’s name, no historical reference. It is a Regular multirun: fifty kilometres inside May, spread across however many sessions fit the month. No special occasion required. The format is the point.
That clarity is part of what makes this virtual running competition straightforward to understand and not straightforward to execute. One month, one distance, one rule about how the scoring works. Everything else is left open.
What the window gives
The live phase runs UTC from 00:00 on 1 May through 23:59 on 31 May. Thirty-one days to accumulate 50 km of verified running, in whatever configuration of sessions works. Best total time on the distance, once verified, determines the standing in this online race.
Thirty-one days sounds generous. In a month that contains 1945, Goya, and the ongoing pressure of .execution on the Pace Ladder—which started 25 April and runs into June—plus Solstice opening 20 May, the room is not as open as the calendar implies.
Streets does not pause for any of that. It is live from the first day to the last, a full-month obligation that runs alongside whatever else May contains.
How fifty kilometres moves
The distance can be assembled many ways. Even contributions across every day of the month produce a consistent pace without dramatic exposure to any single bad week. Concentrated blocks accept higher daily volume in exchange for fewer required sessions and more recovery days. Neither approach is protected from its own failure modes.
A front-loaded approach banks distance early in the month, when effort is fresher, at the cost of carrying fatigue into mid-May when Goya opens and .execution is asking for the best pace on the ladder. A back-loaded approach saves the legs for a better moment, then compresses the remaining distance into a part of the month when Solstice has opened and the concurrent load has risen.
The calendar does not simplify this trade-off. It runs the same way regardless of where the fifty kilometres sit.
Verification through the month
Completion of this online running competition requires more than physical kilometres. Every session must be logged, published to Streets, and cleared by verification. Distance that was physically covered but not properly submitted does not appear in the total.
In a month-long window, verification is an ongoing process, not a final step. A missed submission or a rejected session affects the total the same way a missed run does. The final verified distance is the race.
Streets and Mundial
Streets and Mundial are the Regular multirun pair of Season 262—same format, same distance, May and June respectively. A result in Streets without completing Mundial is still a result. Both together complete the arc: fifty kilometres in May, fifty in June, the same format applied at opposite ends of the season’s most crowded stretch.
For athletes who run both, Streets is the first half of that pair. The distance covered in May does not carry forward—Mundial starts fresh on 1 June. But the habit of assembling multirun distance across a month is the same discipline both races require.
After 31 May
The live phase closes at 23:59 UTC on 31 May. Official standings follow verification; provisional positions can shift until the race reaches Results out.
The locked standings at Results out are the ones that carry forward into June, where the same format opens again under a different name.
