Set up a Fundraising Page for your Virtual Challenge

Anyone of any ability can participate and it can be completed at any location, at your own pace, and in however many stints you require.

There’s loads of ideas that you can do yourself such as run a marathon in a month, do a triathlon (swim, bike and run), climb a mountain or why not cycle the coast to coast route on your exercise bike?

Here’s some examples…

Virtual Marathon/Half Marathon

Great North Run – 13.1 miles

London Marathon – 26 Miles

So many organised runs take place and not everyone is lucky enough to get a place so why not do your own virtual run – you could even do it on the same date as the organised run.

Coast to Coast or Sea to Sea

Whitehaven – Sunderland

The UK’s most popular challenge cycle route, the C2C is often thought to stand for ‘Coast to Coast’, but the name is actually short for ‘Sea to Sea’. The iconic route travels 137 miles between the Irish Sea and the North Sea, from Cumbria to Tyneside, passing through the northern Lake District before climbing the Pennines and descending to the railway paths of County Durham. Or there’s lots of other C2C routes – click here for more details.

Swim the English Channel

The shortest route to swim across it is 21 miles long, but that can change depending on the current. The Channel is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, with 600 tankers and 200 ferries passing through it every day! So you can’t simply jump in and swim across.

Thats 1,352 lengths of a 25m swimming pool.  A tad warmer than actually swimming the channel, you won’t meet any ships and you can take as many trips to the pool as you like to finish the full distance!
