PREPARE FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE WITH OUR 3-RACE CHALLENGE BUNDLE, OFFERING A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST YOUR LIMITS ACROSS THREE DIVERSE DISTANCES. THIS YEAR, WE'RE INTRODUCING SOME EXCITING CHANGES, INCLUDING DIFFERENT DISTANCES FOR DISTANCE SERIES 1 & 3, MAKING THE EVENT EVEN MORE APPEALING TO RUNNERS OF ALL LEVELS. SIGN UP FOR ANY OF THE THREE CHALLENGES AND NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE TAKING PART IN A FANTASTIC RUNNING EXPERIENCE, BUT YOU'LL ALSO RECEIVE A SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE MEDAL AS A REWARD FOR YOUR DEDICATION! REMEMBER, TO CLAIM YOUR MEDAL, YOU MUST SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE ALL THREE EVENTS WITHIN EACH CHOSEN CHALLENGE.

FOR THOSE SEEKING A CHALLENGING YET ACHIEVABLE GOAL, WE PRESENT THE 10K CHALLENGE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE DISTANCES ARE NOT PART OF THE STRIDERS GRAND PRIX.

FINALLY, COMPLETE THE 10K FOR DISTANCE SERIES 3 AT THE DISMAL CANAL TRAIL.
