Virtual Race

About this event

This new event for 2026 is essentially a little bit of fun aimed at getting everyone, runners and walkers, up and out after the festive period to kickstart the New Year, and for us to help burn off all those excesses consumed while in turn burning off all of ours! This is not a race but a personal challenge, so please don't get competitive with the results. Over the past few years we have decided to change four of our point to point races, into single loop routes. This is for sustainability reasons and cutting down on vehicle transport that causes most races are: South Downs 100 miles South Downs 100k South Downs 20 miles Seven Sisters Half Marathon Due to this change we have been left with medals, buckles and t-shirts that we can no longer use. With this in mind, the Lucky Dip and Virtual Leftovers Event was created which will hopefully enable us to use these up in a more sustainable way. To complete the Virtual Challenge choose one of the race distances, sign up and complete it all virtually in your own time and at your own pace whether you want to walk or run. You are welcome to sign up to all four for an even bigger challenge! There will be four Strava Groups that runners can join and add their runs to this every time they are completed. This is a nice way to see what others are doing and to keep motivated to get the runs done. The Strava Group links will be emailed out to all entrants before January.
