Event information

Organiser's description

Delivery drivers, carers, shop staff, teachers, cleaners and everyone in between. This tribute challenge lets you cover any distance you choose and finish with a medal that recognises the people who kept things moving.

From 1.5 miles to 100 miles, by running, walking, cycling, swimming or machines. Take it on solo, or get the whole workplace involved.

This tribute design is currently well below its standard price. Once the current batch is gone, the offer closes with it.

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.
