About the event
Run Up to Christmas is a festive themed virtual running event – so it can be run anywhere in whatever way you want. We want to get as many of you up and out as we can, and we want to support you every step of the way.
You have from the 1st December up to and including Christmas Day to run as many miles as you want, or even better as you can. There are lots of milestones to reach, from 25km to 2,500km! You can do it on your own or with your best running buddies as part of a team!
This is not a run streak challenge, you do not need to run every day (but you obviously can if you want to). You just have to set a goal to hit one of our targets, track your runs through whatever running site you use. We would encourage the use of Strava as this can be linked directly to your account on our site, but you can also do manual uploads using screenshots from any popular running app, treadmill or watch. At the end of the 25 days submit your distance through your account area dashboard. If you’ve hit one of our milestones you get one of our festive medals. As always we will have prizes and quirky ways to keep you motivated to run this festive season!
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.
