Sign up for a virtual race online

With so many events being cancelled due to the lockdown, some events holders have transferred their race online.

​

Runner Paula Wilkie has been a long time Venture Trust champion and is always up for a challenge. She has also raised funds for us through an assortment of physically demanding challenges. Paula had signed up to take part in the Ratrace's 'Dirty Weekend' on 9 May. Despite not being able to take part in the original challenge, Paula completed a 13 mile run under lockdown conditions.

​

To keep within restrictions, Paula spent an hour pounding the streets of Glasgow, the remaining time was spent in the courtyard at her flat.

​

To try a similar challenge, find a race you’d like to take part in and sign up as normal. Then, on the day, complete the distance, either around your block or your garden – but remember to record your activity on an app (Strava, Runkeeper etc) as proof. Send a screenshot of your completed activity into the event organisers, and they’ll post you your medal!
