What happens if I sign up for this challenge but then can't do it?

No problem. We understand that sometimes life gets in the way of your plans. If you find that you have signed up for one of our races then decide not to participate, we would be happy to defer your place onto another race at the same value. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds unless it is under special circumstances at the discretion of management.

How does the Easter 5K work?

One of the best things about a virtual race is that you decide where and how you complete it.

There’s no fixed start line and no need to travel to a particular venue. Simply choose your route and complete your 5K during the Easter event period.

You could run around your local park, walk with the family, jog around your neighbourhood, explore a countryside trail, complete 5K on a treadmill or even use your Saturday parkrun towards the challenge.

There’s no pressure over pace or finishing time. Complete the distance your way and enjoy the achievement.

Your Easter 5K medal

Every finisher receives a bright and colourful Easter 5K medal designed around the fun of Easter and springtime.

The design features an energetic running Easter bunny surrounded by rolling green countryside, colourful Easter eggs, spring flowers and greenery. Bold multicoloured EASTER 5K lettering makes the race distance stand out, while gold-effect detailing gives the medal a premium finish.

The medal is completed with a matching Easter-themed ribbon decorated with colourful eggs, flowers and spring-inspired artwork.

It’s a cheerful collector-style medal and a great reminder of your Easter 5K achievement.
