Literally NONE of our usual rules apply, this is for fun, and more importantly for a fantastic cause. Run, walk, roller skate, hop, skip & jump, we don't mind on this one, you won't be able to use this one as a qualifier for the nationals we're afraid, so enjoy it. All you have to do is prove to us that you covered 26 miles and you are golden... More importantly, the honey pot children's charity become the recipient of your generosity and hard work.

The only rule is please DO NOT try and run this in one... We know there are many of our community missing out on planned marathons right now, but please bear in mind, these events come with race marshals, water stations, first aiders, health and safety measures not to mention hundreds or thousands of other runners supporting you on the way round... 26 miles is a long way to go alone unless you are a very experienced distance runner, supporting this wonderful charity will make you a hero in our eyes, those are the only heroics required.

Frequently asked questions

Can you run on a treadmill?

Yes, we are fans of fresh air and muddy puddles, but appreciate it’s not possible for everyone to get out, so take a snap of the run, showing distance and time.

More about virtual running
Can I walk instead of run?

Yes, we encourage everyone to try and run as much as they sensibly can but appreciate not everyone is in a position to complete a distance run, but still want to participate in the challenge. We have set time limits on the events so you’ll have to keep walking, but they do allow completion at an average walking pace.
