Marathon Season 3 is more than six rounds of staying active 🏃
For Season 3, we focused on improving the overall Marathon experience, making it easier to follow, more social, more personal, and more rewarding.
Here’s a deeper look at what’s new and, more importantly, what it means for you 👇
🛡️ Insurance:
Insurance protects you against one missed day during a round, giving you some breathing room without removing the challenge of staying consistent.
Insurance is purchased separately for each reward pool and each round, with its price dynamically adjusted based on registrations and the previous round’s success rate.
And there’s another benefit for the community: 94% of Insurance purchases go directly into the Marathon reward pool, increasing the potential rewards for successful finishers.
👥 A better way to compete together
Marathon doesn’t have to be a solo challenge anymore. Season 3 introduces a much deeper Team experience. Create or join a team, customize it with your own name, logo, banner, and description, and follow your teammates throughout the competition.
Team leaders can also send notices and daily reminders, while members can react to team updates.
It’s designed to make staying consistent a shared effort. Encourage each other, keep your teammates accountable, and compete together.
And there’s something worth competing for: Every round, the top three teams receive rewards for every member:
🥇 1st: 5 GGBoxes + 3 Keys
🥈 2nd: 5 GGBoxes + 2 Keys
🥉 3rd: 5 GGBoxes + 1 Key
🏆 Round AND Season Leaderboards
Winning one round is great. Performing consistently across an entire season is even better.
Teams can now compete across two different leaderboards.
📅 The Round Leaderboard tracks performance during the current 14-day round.
🌎 The Season Leaderboard tracks cumulative performance across all six rounds.
This means every round is a fresh opportunity to compete, while long-term consistency matters throughout the entire season.
🎭 Make Marathon yours
Your Marathon journey now has its own identity.
Choose your Marathon Name and Avatar, then use them across your profile and leaderboards.
Season Pass holders also get access to exclusive Avatars and additional Marathon Name changes, giving you even more ways to customize your identity.
📊 A better Marathon Profile
Season 3 also makes it easier to look back at what you’ve accomplished.
Your enhanced Marathon Profile brings your history, achievements, stats, and performance together in one place.
The more you participate, the more your profile becomes a record of your Marathon journey.
⏱️ A clearer daily experience
One of our biggest focuses for Season 3 was making Marathon easier to understand day to day.
The refreshed challenge interface gives you a clearer view of your daily challenge progress, remaining Energy requirement, Insurance status, and Auto-join settings.
There’s also a daily countdown timer, so you always know exactly how much time you have left to complete your activity before the next day begins.
Less guesswork, fewer accidental misses, and a much clearer view of where you stand.
🚀 More flexibility when joining a round
Missed the start of a round? You now have a little more flexibility.
Rounds begin at 12 AM UTC, but registration remains open for another 12 hours, until 12 PM UTC on the first day.
That gives you an extra window to get into the competition without having to wait two weeks for the next round.
🎟️ More value with the Season Pass
For those planning to go the distance, the Marathon Season Pass unlocks additional benefits throughout Season 3.
⭐ STEPN Premium Membership until the end of the season
👟 One locked STEPN Common Sneaker
🎭 Exclusive Marathon Avatars
✏️ Additional Marathon Name changes
🎁 Additional Marathon rewards, drops, and bonuses
Season 3 is about making Marathon better at every step.
More ways to compete. More ways to connect. More ways to make Marathon your own. And a smoother experience that helps you focus on what really matters: getting out there and staying active.

WTF, GROK BOT JUST MADE AI AGENTS AVAILABLE TO LITERALLY ANYONE – CREATING CONTENT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS EASY, EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER MADE ANYTHING BEFORE
Content was never a talent problem. It's a headcount problem.
One person doing research, design, copy, analytics, timing and publishing – that's six jobs. The switching between them is what kills consistency, not a lack of ideas.
Here's what one of these setups actually looks like.
A Chief of Staff sits in the middle and routes every task. Nothing lands on the human.
→ Researcher tracks what's actually moving and pulls real sources instead of guesswork
→ Writer turns that research into finished copy, ready to review
→ Visualiser gets fed a few reference visuals once, then ships everything in that style
→ Analyst reads the numbers and tells the rest of the team what worked
→ Scheduler owns timing and holds the queue
→ Publisher ships it
The part that makes it work: every agent on Grok Bot gets its own persistent computer, browser and file system – and they all share memory.
So the research is already sitting inside the draft before the draft starts. No copy-pasting between tools. No approving every step. No human in the middle.
You can even teach an agent a repetitive task by recording yourself doing it once. Start recording, do the thing, stop. It learns the pattern.
And that's the real shift.
Nobody needs AI to tell them what to post.
They need it to delete the 40 steps between the idea and the post.
Everyone has a backlog of things they've meant to make for months. This is what starts clearing it.
Full breakdown of the setup in the article below ↓
