(Optional) Distance Award
Fancy an extra challenge? We have three optional distances for you to aim for. Depending how far you travel over your 12 (or more) runs/walks, we’ll award you a special digital finisher’s certificate to download and share.
- 30 miles – A spring in your step
- 60 miles – Blossomed with every mile
- 100 miles – Bloomin’ Brilliant
From 10am on 1st March, you can log your runs with our online tracker, or use your own tracking app or device to record your activity if you prefer. Once you’ve completed all of your runs and reached your target distance, simply submit your results and we’ll have your digital finisher’s certificate in a bloomin’ quick time.
