A set of medals with shields bearing various flags, including the United Kingdom's flag and Ireland's flag. The ribbons display text such as "World Series of Running." The shields feature crossed swords. The medals are displayed against a blurred indoor background. A collection of medals with various national flags are displayed on beige carpeted stairs. Each medal is attached to a ribbon printed with the name and flag of a different country, including India, Canada, France, Australia, Belgium, South Africa, USA, and more.

Organiser's Description

In August 2022 we're going to have a brand new series of events - each day will be a different flag theme, and each day will have a new unique, matching themed medal based on the theme of the day! Fifteen days, fifteen flags, fifteen unique matching medals

There will be a finisher shirt too... which we'll order after the event is complete.

We're holding it over three weekends and the Bank Holiday Monday and in the summer school holidays so those who are limited on holiday can take as few days as possible off work.... also for 2022 we're going to mix up the routes too, three routes over the fifteen events.

The individual days will be as follows :-

Saturday August 20th - Scotland - 3.28 Mile " Lightning Bolt" Route (parkrun option)
Sunday August 21st - Northern Ireland - 5.25 Mile "177 Route"

There are three hotels within walking distance and a brand new Travelodge within crawling distance! So things should be as simple as possible, aside from the running of course, and that is up to you! Each day will be a six hour challenge event, what distance you run each day is totally up to you...

We're making these events a little lower cost than usual, again to try to make them accessible as possible. We're also trying to make them as logistically straightforward as possible for both the runners and SVN! we're not going to have goody bags for these events, but certainly the usual standard of SVN welcome, support and friendliness!

Please explore the races and consider joining us for one or all of them!
