26th March 2023 marks three years since lockdown measures were legally implemented by UK Prime Mnister Boris Johnson. Since then, there has been more than 279 million known cases and over 5 million deaths worldwide.
As we continue with our lives and think of all the loved ones we have lost because of this global pandemic, this virtual challenge is a reminder of how this deadly disease has affected the world and, with new variants announced, we have to remember COVID-19 is still out there. So we ask, “Where’s COVID?”
Money raised from this challenge will be donated to UK Coronavirus Charity Appeal.

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.
