Organiser's Description

One of our most requested designs, the Great Mosque Challenge pairs intricate architectural detail with a distance that suits absolutely everyone – from a first 5K to a full 100 miles.

If you have never done a virtual challenge before, start here. Pick 5K, take your time, and finish with something worth keeping. No crowds, no start pen, no pressure.

The hardest part is signing up. Once you have a distance to aim at, the miles look after themselves – and this design will not stay in production forever.

Complete it anywhere in the world, in your own time – run, jog, walk, cycle, swim or mix it up. Your finisher medal is posted to you once you complete your distance.
