Organiser's description

MAY DAY MILE
Date of Challenge: 4th, 5th and 6th May 2024
May Day is a historic celebration going back to pagan heritage. It was a day of feasting and dancing throughout towns and villages across the UK. Back in the late 180s, May Day was a day in support of workers. Although the day only officially became a bank holiday in the UK in 1978.

At The Running Bug we’re celebrating May Day with two brand new virtual challenges. Join us in a May Day Mile challenge over the first May Bank Holiday.

WHAT’S INVOLVED?
Run, walk or jog 1 mile, anywhere on either the 4th, 5th or 6th of May 2024.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
Everybody who completes this challenge and submits their evidence will receive a beautiful white aluminium finishers medal with a plain coloured ribbon.
