The May 50K is an online fitness challenge which runs for one month from 1^st to 31^st May 2024. You decide where and when to complete your challenge.

Absolutely! It’s up to you to decide where or how to complete The May 50K.

Wherever you live, whatever your fitness level, you can decide when and where to complete The May 50K. Really don’t like to run or walk? You could complete the challenge in a way that works best for you. If you are a wheelchair user, you can adjust the kilometres in a way that will be challenging for you. Setting a challenging personal goal will make it more likely others will sponsor you.

You can join a public team by clicking on the "Join us" button on the teams fundraising page. If the team is set to private you will need to ask the team captain to send you an invite.
