RACE
As we move into the autumn/winter race season, there are still loads of amazing virtual running challenges you can join. Meanwhile, lots more real-world races are in the diary, with Covid-19 safety precautions in place and organisers offering no-questions refunds if they have to be cancelled. Crucially, places at real events are restricted now to ensure social distancing so make sure you apply early. Some will just convert into a virtual event if need be. It’s important to always check your race instructions carefully and look out for last-minute cancellations or health and safety changes. Either way, the running is still real - and you’ll still receive your reward at the end. Here are some of the best online and real-world races to help keep you motivated…
TEAM AND ALL LEVELS
HALLOWEEN GIN RUN [VIRTUAL]
Wherever you are in the world between 31st October and 2nd November, why not run 3K, 5K, 10K or a half marathon, dressed up in your scariest Halloween outfit, and then celebrate with a finish-line G&T? Run anytime that suits, alone or in a team, just make sure you’ve put on your most terrifying Halloween themed fancy dress. When you return, treat yourself to a ghostly glass of gin and take your most hair-raising finisher’s photo. Three gin-related prizes for the best (and spookiest) pics.
