Your company is abusing it’s employees. Imagine if it was something other than exercise how abusive it would be.

Except it's not, because it's exclusively about health. It's a discount health insurance companies offer to companies, and the company uses that money to encourage employees to be healthier.

Your insurance benefit offered after health milestones isn't 30-130% of your salary though

Running 30km (18.6 miles) in a month earns a bonus equivalent to 30% of their monthly salary. Moving up to 40km (24.8 miles) pushes that to 40%. Hitting 50km (31 miles) earns 100%, and the top tier of 100km (62 miles) is 130%

100km for 130%, when 50km will already get you 100%? Not worth it in the least.

Depending on how they track it, exploiting that shouldn't be too hard.

I didnt see what was the appeal for companies until I realized they were US based companies and had to provide health insurance for their employees

Next up they will be forcing you to a plant based diet or maybe straight to veganism. Slippery slope towards forced sterilization or some other Radical procedure that saves them money but is not necessary.
