Birthday Virtual Challenges
Turn a birthday into a milestone you actually did something with.
Birthday virtual challenges turn a birthday into a milestone you actually did something with, rather than one that simply happened to you.
The birthday challenge
- Birthday Run Celebration Challenge Medal, our dedicated birthday design
Match the distance to the age
A popular approach is to pick a distance that reflects the birthday: 5K for a fifth, 10K for a tenth, a half marathon for a landmark year. It gives the challenge a personal hook, and it makes for a much better story than another restaurant booking.
Works for any age or fitness level
Distances start at 1.5 miles and any activity counts, so a birthday challenge suits a seven-year-old, a seventy-year-old and everyone in between. Nobody gets left behind because they walk rather than run.
A present with a point to it
Giving somebody a goal, with a medal waiting at the end, tends to land better than another gadget. You can gift a challenge directly or send a gift card so they choose their own. See the full gifting section for more ideas.
Make it a family thing
Birthday challenges work well as a group activity, with everyone choosing their own distance and finishing with a medal. Have a look at the kids and family collection.
