Running Challenges

Great Run Solo brings you fantastic seasonal running challenges to keep you motivated all year long! Take on one, or complete them all to earn stunning, limited-edition medals so you can showcase your achievements all year long. Run 30, 60, or 100 miles in each challenge, and you’ll earn a personalised digital certificate (plus some serious bragging rights!).

The January Challenge kicked off 2026, and will be followed by Spring, Summer, Halloween and Christmas challenges. This is the perfect way to stay motivated throughout the year. Run anywhere, any time, and at any pace that suits you.
