Now that the festive season has come to an end and the cold weather is setting in, you may be tempted to skip a run and a cosy up by the fire. Skipping training during the winter will only stunt your marathon preparation for April. Now is the time to lace up those trainers and crank your marathon training up a notch!

The virtual Winter Run Challenge is the perfect way to hold yourself accountable, boost your motivation, and fight off those January blues.

Here’s how it works:

In early 2021 the Virtual Winter Run helped over 10,000 people from all over the UK (and beyond) keep fit at the start of the year. Together we raised over £900,000 for Cancer Research UK, travelled thousands of miles, and posted over 5,000 merchandise rewards to runners.

You can register for FREE right now. You can then start earning badges and rewards immediately, before you walk or run 10k in February. You will need to connect your Strava to start earning badges, this can be done via the My Fitness Activity section of your profile.

Demand is expected to be high for this free event, and we will be limiting numbers to ensure enough rewards for all. Click below to register simply and easily for the 2022 Cancer Research UK Winter Run Challenge.
