WHAT IS THE BOXMOOR VIRTUAL MARATHON?
Run, cycle, scoot, wheel, walk or swim your way to complete your 26.2 miles/42 KM challenge! Track your progress, complete it in one go or over the ten weeks. Everybody gets a medal when they tell us that they have completed their challenge.
WHY A VIRTUAL MARATHON?
We know that getting outside and being active are good for our mental and physical health. Sometimes we just need a bit of extra motivation to help us do it!
A virtual marathon is a great way of motivating yourself and your children to get outside, with the reward of a medal at the end. You can start your challenge on the 8th May, when the Olympic Flame arrives in France to begin its journey to Paris, and you have until the 20th July to complete your marathon, with the end coinciding with the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Marathon has a long connection with the modern Olympic Games, so this is a great way to celebrate the Olympics and win a medal yourself.
