GREAT RUN SOLO
The Great Run Company has launched #GreatRunSolo, a new virtual running challenge encouraging the public to stay healthy, be active and run solo to raise vital funds for NHS Charities Together.
Anyone can sign up to weekly or monthly distance-based challenges ranging from 7K to 280K, with a one mile distance available for children. Each challenge costs £10 to take part in and The Great Run Company will donate all profits to the NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Urgent Appeal. Once their overall distance is completed and logged online, each runner is rewarded with a unique
#GreatRunSolo medal to celebrate their achievement.
“There is no doubt that the coronavirus outbreak has resulted in unprecedented challenges for the NHS and we want to do our bit to raise vital funds for the Appeal,” said Paul Foster, chief executive at The Great Run Company. “Lots of runners have seen a major goal for 2020 taken away from them, and others might be struggling to stay motivated during these uncertain times.
