10 Days of 5k Challenge

Join The Running Bug's 10 Days of 5K Challenge for October 2026 and contribute your efforts towards an important cause. This virtual run allows participants to complete the challenge from anywhere, whether it’s outdoors or on a treadmill, at their own pace.
The event runs throughout the month of October, with runners aiming to cover 10 separate 5-kilometer segments over any ten days within that period. Participants can choose when and where they take part in this flexible challenge, making it suitable for all fitness levels. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, there's room for everyone to make an impact.
Upon completion of the challenge, runners will receive an exclusive premium finisher medal delivered straight to their door, along with the satisfaction of having completed 50 kilometers while supporting Cancer Research UK through Andrew’s Giving Page. For those interested in adding a personal touch or making additional donations, you can do so directly via Stand Up To Cancer's platform.
Participants are encouraged to submit proof of completion by taking a screenshot of their total miles for October and sending it through The Running Bug’s secure submission form available on their website. This challenge not only promotes physical activity but also fosters community support in the fight against cancer, uniting individuals across the UK who share a common goal.
For those looking to take part, remember that entries are open exclusively to participants within the United Kingdom and medals will be dispatched via Royal Mail 2nd class Tracked delivery. An upgrade option is available for faster shipping at an additional cost of £2.00 if preferred.
