I’m not aware of an event by that exact name, but there’s the annual “Running Bitcoin Challenge” on Jan 10th. This event involves running/walking 21km (one “Hal Fin”) to raise funds for the Hal Finney ALS Research Fund. Some run multiple Hal Fins to push their limits and inspire others.
Hope you guys can join us for the 2025 challenge; it’s shaping up to be a big one!

Thrilled to have completed my fourth 50km ultra marathon repressing @BitcoinRunners on Saturday, smashing my 50km PB by 41 minutes! The course led us through beautiful woodland trails before hitting the English South coast, where the final 12km push along Bournemouth’s busy promenade to Hengistbury Head tested my endurance. What a day!
Official time: 4:01:53 | 2nd MV40 | 7th out of 543 overall 💪
Because Proof-of-Work matters!

When Satoshi emailed Mike Hearn on April 23, 2011, saying, ‘I’ve moved on to other things,’ that was the moment we all became Satoshi.
Thank you Satoshi for giving us the opportunity to break free!
I have found eudaemonic happiness thanks to bitcoin, family and fitness.
I will be forever grateful to Satoshi, Hal and all the cypherpunks who contributed to writing the code that made the impossible, possible. 🧡
Quick refresher regarding the four laws of thermodynamics:
Zeroth Law: If A = B and B = C, then A = C
Mnemonic: “You must be in balance to measure temperature.”
Explanation: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define temperature.
First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Mnemonic: “You can’t get more energy than you put in.”
Explanation: Energy is conserved. The total energy in a closed system is constant—energy can only be transferred or transformed (e.g., heat to work).
Second Law: Entropy always increases
Mnemonic: “You can’t even break even unless it’s absolute zero.”
Explanation: In any energy transfer, some energy becomes unavailable to do work, increasing the system’s overall disorder (entropy).
Third Law: Absolute zero is unattainable
Mnemonic: “You can’t get out of the game.”
Explanation: As the temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero, but absolute zero cannot be reached in a finite number of steps.
Summary:
Zeroth Law: Think of it as “defining temperature.”
First Law: “Energy is conserved” (no free lunch).
Second Law: “Disorder (entropy) always increases” (you can’t break even).
Third Law: “You can’t reach absolute zero” (you can’t get out of the game).
“Bitcoin rose from the ashes of the global financial crisis. Inflation had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present.
Tonight…”
5,000 sats to the first npub who guesses the ‘80s movie this opening statement was paraphrased from.
Getting the word out: An old friend of mine living in Granada shared this message today.
"Hello friends,
Here is an update on how we fared Hurricane Beryl last week. While we were fine and most everything is back to normal, I am including two links that show the devastation on Grenada's northern islands Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
Petite Martinique:

A local Gouyave super-star Soca singer, Hollis Mapp (aka Mr. Killa) has his foundation HMF gathering emergency supplies locally and in New York and Atlanta. If anyone is moved to send goods via a quick Amazon purchase, the best location to send is to his importer/exporter in Brooklyn. The most useful items needed are: Heavy Duty Tarps (~15 mil) at least 10'x12' to be used as roofs. Large garbage bags, Diapers, Baby Wipes, Towels, Solar Power banks, solar lights, tents, first aid kits and batteries.

Thanks y'all."
I had the pleasure of meeting so many inspiring bitcoiners at @BTCprague.

UK general election prediction: Rishi Sunak will remain one of the many unelected Prime Ministers of the Undemocratic United Kingdom.
Here is a list of the last 5 Prime Ministers who took office without winning a general election first:
1. Rishi Sunak (2022)
2. Liz Truss (2022)
3. Boris Johnson (2019) - won an election after assuming office
4. Theresa May (2016) - won an election after assuming office
5. Gordon Brown (2007)
ChatGPT 4o still manages to make a lighthearted joke about this sad fact.

Thank you for creating this brilliant - easy to digest - educational resource Lyn. I've added your link to multiple pages on our https://www.bitcoinrunners.org/bitcoin/ website and will recommend it to all 🤩
Touched down in Boston: Birthplace of the American revolution. Excited for the @bostonmarathon on Monday after many months of training. Vibes are high!
Anyone others @BitcoinRunners in town participating?

So, 12 words memorised in your head is now illegal in the EU?!
That would make ‘thought crimes’ a reality. Jeez! Thankfully, bitcoin can save us from these tyrants.
Few realise at this point that Satoshi will be turning 50 next year and all of his birthday parties happening around the world, on April 5th 2025, are going to be insane 🥳
Proud to have represented @BitcoinRunners at Goodwood this morning. The vibes were high with around 1,000 competitors across all race distances. An ever growing number of marshals and spectators cheered for #bitcoin and “Mr. Bitcoin”. I was most grateful for the passionate encouragement. #teamsatoshi #ProofOfWork #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/0c78b6e70c5a8a1b51267e868d216f824e97b538723290ceda8c8aaec3a82838.jpg
