RACE
Ready, set, GO! Spring is on the way and we’ve compiled our pick of the virtual and real-world races on the calendar. Of course, we’re not out of the woods, Covid-wise, so be sure to check ts and cs when you sign up to see what happens if the race is cancelled at the last minute
TEAM AND ALL LEVELS
CONQUER 2021 [VIRTUAL]
► Set your own distance goal that you want to complete before 31 December 2021. This is a great challenge for any level of runner as well as for collective efforts involving families or teams of friends or work colleagues. The distance can be divided between the group so advanced athletes and beginners can still compete together. Track your miles via the app and log your progress through the year. Each time a team member posts a distance, your team icon will advance on the map.
£29.95 per team member, theconqueror.events/conq2021/
THE LANCASTER CHALLENGE [VIRTUAL]
► Take part in this challenge to celebrate 80 years since the first flight of the Avro Lancaster plane, the major heavy bomber used during the war. Choose to complete 80K, 150K or 500K and you can run, hike, cycle or walk the dog to complete your challenge. The event helps support the RAF Museum Charity. Sign up and you’ll be sent a distance log to track your progress.
