About The Event
So, you think you’ve got what it takes to run 100K in May? We do too. Our 100K in May challenge is a great way to get fitter, get outdoors and raise money for people living with cancer.
Take to the pavements or hit the parks. Go short or go long. It’s totally up to you. Most of our runners aim for 3.2k a day but go at your own pace. You can run it alone or as part of a group.
Run 100K, your way, before the 31st May.
This event is hosted on Facebook. Join the group to meet thousands of fellow challengers and get updates as you progress through the challenge.
