Organiser's Description

LAND'S END TO JOHN O'GROATS
NEW for 2022! Why not push yourself like never before with our ultimate endurance test.

In this virtual challenge, your goal is to run, walk or jog from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’Groats in Scotland. Don’t worry, we don’t actually expect you to literally do it. But this challenge allows you to complete the distance between the two points (874 miles).

The only rule is that you complete the challenge during 2022 (from 1st January to 31st December).

WHAT'S INVOLVED?
Download the Lands End to John OGroats Tracker

Run, jog or walk 874 miles from 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. Each time you complete an activity, record the miles on that particular day. We also accept treadmill activities.

The tracker automatically calculates the distance you have completed each month as well as the overall total. For example, if you ran 10 miles a week in April, it would show 40 miles for the monthly total and underneath it would show the total of any miles accumulated during January, February and March.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
All participants will receive a beautiful white aluminum medal with a plain colour ribbon for their achievement.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY CHALLENGE?
Once you have completed the tracker and met the 874 miles requirement, you can email the spreadsheet to [email protected].
Then that's it! Your medal should arrive within 10 working days.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We do accept entries from overseas participants. However, please note that is an extra charge to cover postage costs. There may also be extra import duty charges and customs taxes depending on your country. You are liable to pay such charges. The Running Bug is unable to advise on these charges as they differ from country to country. We recommend you contact your local tax office.
