FAQs
How can I run?
You can clock up the miles however it suits you. Whether you’re keeping up your normal exercise routine or trying something new, you can make up your 50 miles one mile at a time or in two marathons throughout the month. Pound the pavements, use a treadmill or go cross country - the choice is yours.
Who can take part?
Anyone and everyone. Run the way you want over the course of the month.
Is this challenge for me?
You should be physically fit enough to complete the distance but if you have any health concerns, please speak to your doctor before taking part. Taking part in the challenge is at your own risk, so please make sure to take due care and follow any government guidelines at the time of your challenge.
Can we take part as a team?
Yes, one team, one dream! All you need to do is select the team option on sign up and it will guide you through the process of creating a team or joining an existing one.
What’s the best way to track my movement?
This challenge is all about keeping busy and active, so we trust you to be sticking to the distance you challenged yourself to. JustGiving has a great tool to connect your fundraising page to your Strava account so you can share your runs publicly.

You will also be able to keep your eye on those hitting 50 miles on the leaderboard to encourage you. Don’t forget to post your #RuntheMonth snaps too - we can’t wait to see those run prep grids.
