April marks the beginning of the inaugural virtual mile, established by The Running Bee Foundation. The team behind MyFirst™ Virtual Mile is giving everyone in the UK the opportunity to “mix up their current exercise regimes or set themselves a challenge to complete a mile!”
So how does it all work? People of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to get active and take on the challenge, which you have 30 days to complete.
Whether it’s an at-home treadmill, or even a favourite running path, you decide?
The Running Bee Foundation is also asking all participants who take on the MyFirst™ Virtual Mile to “abide by governmental and NHS guidelines, maintaining social distance from others, especially when choosing to exercise outdoors (always keeping 2-meter distance) and ensure to wash your hands for 20 seconds as soon as you complete your exercise.”
To sign up for the challenge visit the RBF’s Events Page.
At a cost of £10 per entry, all proceeds from entries gathered will be put into health and wellbeing initiatives to help tackle childhood obesity across the country.
