Has the challenge event that you had been training for been postponed or cancelled? Or maybe you’re looking to take on a new lockdown challenge event?
You decide how far to run, from a virtual 5k to a full or half marathon over a number of days, or even challenge yourself to a regular distance each day, you could even decide to take on a cycling or walking challenge – the choice is yours!
If you really want to challenge yourself take on our LUPUS to LUPUS Challenge and complete 200 virtual miles which is the distance between Lupus Way in Ellesmere Port and Lupus Street in London!
Our Facebook Supporter's Group includes details of our Strava leaderboard and a chat area so you can join our community and encourage and support one another along your journey.

Your efforts may inspire others!
We’ll connect you with others in our community also determined not to let the lockdown get in the way of a good challenge.
We’ll share your updates on our social media so we can help maximise awareness of your heroic support, which will inspire others to donate or take on their own virtual challenge for us.
