Running Mad

Gift a Challenge

When you gift a challenge, you are giving somebody a goal with a medal attached to the end of it. It lasts a great deal longer than another water bottle.

How to choose the right one

  1. Pick a distance that is achievable rather than aspirational. A finished 5K beats an abandoned marathon.
  2. Remember that walking, cycling and swimming all count, so it works for non-runners.
  3. Choose a medal design that means something to them, whether that is a cause, a season or a collectible series.
  4. Order it, and pass it on with the details of how to enter.

No deadline pressure

There is no expiry countdown on the experience itself. They complete it when it suits them, split across as many days as they need, and there is no cut-off time to fall foul of.

Not sure?

A gift card lets them choose, or try the gift finder.
