Great Run Solo
Get your running shoes on for a Christmas-themed virtual running challenge. Complete 12 runs (or more) of any distance between 1-25 December to earn a unique medal. There's an optional distance challenge, with a bespoke digital certificate awarded if you complete the distance award.
Everyone who enters will be sent a unique medal mid-way through the challenge that can be worn with pride or hung on a Christmas tree. The organisers have created three different festive medals and, inspired by Secret Santa tradition, the medal that lands on the doormat will be a complete surprise.
The challenge costs £15 to join – the joining fee includes a unique finishers medal, access to training plans and tips, and access to an online run tracking tool. Hurry though - entry closes at 10am on 8 December! Oh, and there's a Junior Challenge as well...!
Build Your Own Challenge
Alternatively, you can design your own challenge – whether it’s walking, running or cycling. It could be a one-off activity or working towards a cumulative total over a period of time (eg. 5000 steps per day over a month).
You set the distance, time period and fundraising target you want – then set up your JustGiving page as part of our Virtual Event campaign and track your progress using the Strava integration app.
At the end, you’ll receive a special certificate from us!
"DONE!... It was worth it"
Sam completed a 5K challenge in his powered wheelchair at home, raising over £350 for our work by going up and down the length of his house - all 8.5 metres of it! That meant a lot of laps and it took him 1hr 27 to complete. His mum even made him a finish line to cross over!
