Your Summer 5K, Your Way

One of the best things about a virtual race is the freedom to choose how and where you complete it.

Through your favourite park
On a scenic countryside trail
Around your local streets
At your regular parkrun
On a treadmill
With friends or family
Completely on your own

Run the entire distance, walk all 5K or combine running and walking. However you complete it, your 5K counts.

A 5K for Everyone

You don’t have to be an experienced runner to join the challenge.

The Hello Summer 5K is suitable for beginners, walkers, joggers and experienced runners alike. You could use it as your first 5K goal, enjoy a relaxed summer walk or challenge yourself to see how quickly you can complete the distance.

There are no intimidating start lines and no pressure over pace.

Make It a Summer Challenge Together

Why not turn the event into a social summer challenge?
