Organiser's Description

The Run for Dementia UK Challenge lets you turn any distance from 1.5 to 100 miles into a show of support. Walk it, jog it, cycle it or swim it at whatever pace suits you, and finish with a forget-me-not medal.

There is no start gun and no cut-off. Complete your miles on the treadmill, around the park or on the school run. Every step counts towards your total.

Awareness campaigns come and go, but the people we run for do not wait. Join now while this medal is still in production and give your miles a meaning that lasts.

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.
