Run Around the World

Here's how it works:

• Pick a group: North, South, East or West and register yourself (and your friends/clubmates)
• The distance around the world is 40,075km. Your virtual team will cover as much of this distance as possible in one month
• Your contribution is as much or as little as you can muster – this run is available to everyone, regardless of pace or fitness
• Your Run Things account can be linked to Strava. If you don't have Strava, you can manually upload your activities.
• Throughout the month, you’ll be able to see how far you and your teammates have run.
• Kids entries available, too - they won't need an account area and we don't track their distances. They'll get a medal sent, just so long as you keep them active.

This year, we're doing things a little differently, and using each group to raise money for a different mental health charity
TeamNorth - Andy's Man Club (men's mental health)
TeamSouth - Woman's Trust (women's mental health)
TeamEast - CALM - Campaign Against Living Miserably (suicide prevention)
TeamWest - Young Minds (youth mental health)

As with all our events, 50% of the profits from event entries will be donated to charities - so the more people who join a group, the money money the charity gets!
