Pilgrim Challenge 2025 now open for booking!

All 2024 events open for booking!

Introducing our new Virtual Ultra Challenge - a new addition to the UK running calendar.

During the short days and long nights of December we want to keep you motivated and reward you for the hours you put in running and walking. You can enter this event without having to travel to a race - just run or walk where you live and where you love.

THREE CHALLENGES IN ONE

You don't need to be the fastest or fittest to take part - we just want to see you out there!

  • Challenge 1: Run or walk a minimum 50km over a single day, anytime within the challenge period
  • Challenge 2: Run or walk as far as you can within a single day during the challenge period
  • Challenge 3: See how far you can run or walk over the challenge period.
