Pogo's first ever Badge Marathon is coming soon!
QuoteThe Race Is On! Join the Action - Limited Time!
Blaze through 10 new Challenges to win a bonus Badge in Club Pogo's first-ever Badge Marathon.
No more information is given at this time. I'll update this thread when the starting date has been announced.
First ever? I thought they ran one of these things before ...
Sounds exciting! Cannot wait for its release!
Shouldn't this really be named "Challenge Marathon" since we have to do 10 challenges to get just one badge?
I will be watching for the update to this.
I will also be watching for when it comes out. coffee.gif hi11.gif
I've received an unconfirmed report that this marathon is starting on May 8th.
That's not too far away. Thank you. coffee.gif
It's confirmed that this event is starting on May 8th and will last one week.

Here is more information on the Badge Marathon.
QuotePogo_Limes just peered over at me and said he wanted to say a bit more about the upcoming Badge Marathon. Nice! And this is exactly what he had to say:
Hi Pogoians! If you have not heard yet, the Badge Marathon is coming up next Monday May 8. We noticed some questions about what this is exactly and is it related to the Super Badge Challenge. I can tell you that this IS separate from the Super Badge Challenge and you will not have to buy any Badges.
On Monday, May 8, you will receive 10 FREE Badge Challenges in your mailbox courtesy of Spike. (Aww, he's so nice!) Players who complete all 10 by May 14th will get a prize. Here are clues for 3 of the games that will be a part of the Badge Marathon:
Game #1 – Turkey
Game #2 – Right the wrongs in this story
Game #3 – Travelling card game
You can find the answers to those clues and more details of the event on the Blog page on Friday, May 5.
OH! And Tony sent over a rough sketch of the Badge Marathon Special Badge!

Thanks Mayhem. dancing16.gif
The Badge Marathon Is Coming!
Club Pogo Members, a special treat is on the way. The first-ever Badge Marathon starts on Monday, and all members get 10 free Mix-n-Match Challenges to take on, along with a bonus goal.
You'll have seven days to complete them all and unlock a special bonus – a new animated Badge! Whether you reach the goal in time or not, you'll still have 10 new Badges to win in 10 different Pogo games.
These free Challenges will automatically be gifted to you. When they arrive, be sure to open them right away and activate. Every second counts in the marathon!

If you don't have time or don't feel like rushing, you can still complete the 10 Challenges at your own pace. You'll miss out on the bonus Badge, but the other 10 are yours to keep.
Good luck, Club Pogo Members! See you at the starting line on Monday May 8th.

Nice! 10 free badges... that's always a pleaser! Good luck to all, although I'm dealing with a crowd of pros who will probably have them all done by Tuesday. LOL

You're right! hysterical.gif
Woot can't wait! Really looking forward to this!
Thanks for the info. Looking forward to this.
I like that you can win the badges anytime. Just in case I don't win them in the marathon.

Very true but if you don't win them in the allotted time, you won't get that final, marathon-victory
badge prize new, animated badge. GOOD LUCK!
I also like that you can have the badges to win any time, even if u cant win the victory badge.
Want to bet that a fair amount of them will be for HOG's and other games that can require the use of gems. The badges might be free but they will find some way to stick it to us to buy gems and gem items like power-ups.
And it starts:

LOL, I did all my Crosswords two days ago. Play on EASY for 4 power ups per puzzle. I'll get it done by the deadline but wouldn't ya know...? LOL
edited to say: I assumed new puzzles were the only ones eligible. They are not. You can re-solve past puzzles and you will get credit. All done!

This is frustrating when it happens. It will be good when you get these done and by the deadline.

Being that I did not get the bonus reward (animated badge) for completing all ten badges last night, I presume they will be doling it out after the marathon deadline. Any thoughts? The marathon page does not discuss this.

Pogo stated that :
If you complete all 10 in time, the bonus animated Badge will be awarded shortly after the deadline, and appear in your Special Edition Badges Album.
