wants<\/a> Apple Watch owners to record a run of at least 5K (3.1 mi). Once you accomplish that, you’ll unlock “a dedicated Fitness app award”. You’ll also get a chance to win some cool animated stickers for Messages.<\/p>\n ![\"Image](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/3-2.webp\")

These stickers are all centered around running and one of those represents a person in a dinosaur that’s jogging. Amusing stuff.<\/p>\n
How to claim my prize?
Apple Watch users can run the 5K while logged into Apple’s Workout app. But if you happen to use some third-party software like Strava, your record should be valid as well as long as the other app writes the workout data to the Health app.<\/p>\n
There’s no limitations as to when you’re required to run the 5K. It may be in the morning, or in the evening: it doesn’t matter, just do it, as the saying goes.<\/p>\n
Just don’t overdo it
Apple hasn’t teased any Easter eggs in this challenge, so don’t push the envelope. I mean, if you like running three times the distance \u2013 be my guest. If you’re an inexperienced runner who has been around long enough to have actually seen Sylvester Stallone-looking teachers scribble with chalk on an actual blackboard in the schoolroom, it’s best to take it easy.5K is by no means a short distance, so if you’re out of shape, it’s best to leave it at that.<\/p>\n
What’s more, in many parts of the world, June 3 happens to be in the summer. Do hydrate and remember: no animated sticker is worth it if you end up dehydrated and feeling sick.<\/p>\n
It’s best to take your Apple Watch for a warm-up in the days until June 3.<\/p>\n
