Distance Challenges
Perhaps you’ve just completed a Great Run and need to stay fit for the next one; or perhaps you’re already in training and want to keep the momentum up. Whatever the reason, let the Great Run Distance Challenge be your incentive to keep lacing up and heading out.
It’s just £10 to enter and you can choose from four different challenges: seven miles over seven days, or a choice of 50k, 100k or 150k over 28 days. You decide how many runs and how far you go each time. And if you want an extra dose of encouragement, join the Great Run Solo Strava group and connect with other runners taking on a distance challenge.
That incentive we mentioned? Once you’ve logged your runs and hit your distance goal, we’ll send you a shiny new medal to add to your collection. Bragging rights and a BIG confidence boost ahead of your next event included free of charge.
