The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year for the countries in the Northern Hemisphere. The word ‘Solstice’ means ‘sun-stopping’. After the 21st of June, the sunlight hours of each day gradually become shorter heading towards the autumn and winter months.
Run, walk or jog any distance at any pace on 18th, 19th, 20th or 21st June 2022 to celebrate the beginning of summer.
Distances accepted: 5k, 10k, 10 miles, half marathon, full marathon, ultra. We also accept treadmill activities.
Our primary goal is to help and encourage people to keep active by offering virtual runs and walks. Our challenges can be done anywhere, at any pace, alone or with your friends and family.
At The Running Bug not only are our virtual running challenges fun, but they are also a great way to stay fit and healthy. It’s been proven that running and cardio not only provide great physical benefits, it also plays a great role in supporting mental health and stress.
We host a whole range of themed running challenges from long walks to short 5k runs, 10k and marathon races to any distance challenges where you can choose how far you want to go. So there really is something for everybody.
What’s more, you will also be rewarded for your running achievement with a beautiful bespoke medal! Our challenges also make it simple to submit your evidence, simply send a screenshot of your activity (you can use any fitness or exercise app), or take a picture of your treadmill time and distance.
