Foursquare announced that they are parterning with RunKeeper to allow users to get badges for accomplishing fitness tasks when using the RunKeeper application.

Here it is in their own words:

Here’s how it’ll work: users of RunKeeper, an application that helps you track your fitness routines, can now earn RunKeeper-exclusive badges on foursquare by achieving different milestones within their app. For instance, if you run a marathon using RunKeeper, you’ll unlock their Marathon badge. Once you unlock a badge, it will show up on both your RunKeeper profile and with your other badges in foursquare.

Unlock badges without checking in

I’m a heavy Foursquare user and I hope they expand this more than just Running.
