About the event

Here's how it works:

  • Pick a team: North, South, East, West or The Nomads 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.
  • In the summer I was at a loss for a new running challenge. I was fortunate enough to give Run Around the World a go which made every run part of the team challenge. I was part of a virtual team, which felt part of me even though I was mainly running on my own. The whole experience was so enjoyable and helped me rediscover my running mojo! Thank you Clare and Kevin for putting so much time into making the event so much fun.
