I wouldn't argue with this. Though I think the novelty would wear off within the first 3 months of any new TF.
My only objection has absolutely nothing to do with the idea, but with the playerbase - as I'd find it really irritating to have someone start a TF and not bother mentioning "oh, we're doing a challenge run." Hard to fix a person though. It'd be nice to have it very obvious, though, that you're going through a challenge before it starts just for those "Oh, didn't I tell you?" moments.

See, i'd disagree (but I understand it's a matter of personal experience). I am CONSTANTLY attempting to form teams with friends for ITF and LGTF and we attempt to beat our last time each time we run it. |

As for people forgetting to mention they are doing a challenge run... well, that's the nature of the pug. :P
If I'm puging an ITF together and i'm speed running, I broadcast that the team is speed running.
I got this idea from another MMO implementation of something similar as well as the Terminals in RV.
There are challenge levels you can set for yourself for TF/SFs.
Why not have Challenge plaques by TF/SF contacts such as Imperious? These plaques would show the Best weekly time and all time times, of teams that have completed these TFs under that particular challenge level.
This would bring some competitvness to PvE to those who enjoy competition. It would be completely optional of course.
