About Running Mad
We make fitness goals accessible to everyone — and give you a medal worth keeping when you finish.
Fitness goals, made for real people
Running Mad has been putting on virtual challenges since 2018. The idea was simple: make fitness goals accessible to people who were never going to enter a ballot or travel to a start line — and give them a medal worth keeping when they finish.
No pressure, no crowds, no cut-off times. Just you, your distance, and a goal to move towards at your own pace.
