While we love to see you in person, did you know Step Forward with Lewis also offers people the opportunity to ‘run with us’ wherever you might be!
It’s been a while since we held one of our Virtual Races, so it is high time we put on another not one, but THREE new runs for you to use to boost both your training and your bling.
Our Virtual Races aim to motivate you whether you need a practice run before your big 5km, 10km, half-marathon, marathon or Ultra race, or if the virtual itself is your biggest challenge.
Virtual races work the same as any other type of race, but you can do them anywhere or anytime – it’s absolutely down to you.
And please don’t worry about the word ‘run’. Entrants to our virtual events are more than welcome to walk, wheel or jog their way to the required distance – we want these events to be open to anyone.
Part of the proceeds from our virtuals go to local and national charities, so you’ll not only be getting your next run in and earning some bling but helping some fantastic causes as well.
These are our NEW races!
Xanadu – a legendary virtual run for alphabet lovers
Want to take part in a truly X-traordinary virtual run?
This is an X-tra special 5k which might just appeal to any parkrunners with the desire to scratch a certain letter related itch.
We know all too well the frustrating of not being able to truly complete your alphabet challenge due to a lack of a run beginning in X, so we’re creating the Xanadu Virtual Run.
Named after the mysterious ancient city of Xanadu, this event will take place throughout June, with participants able to run their 5k at any time during that month.
The Xanadu 5k Virtual will cost £10 to enter with £4 from each entry going to Northants SEND Mummas.
SEND Mummas is peer support group for mothers and female carers of SEND children. The group meets once a month, hosting a monthly social/wellness event. They also hold regular breakfast events and put on stay and play session for SEND children during the summer holidays.
Having a group of people who understand the life of SEND parents and are living that same experience can make a positive difference to SEND mums or female carers.
The Garmin Gallop! A run to ignore your watch on…
Watch telling you to rest again, that your heart rate is too high or your training has tanked?
This run is dedicated to all those who say no to the tech and set out to run anyway.
Put your watch’s worries to one side and head out for 10k in September.
The Garmin Gallop 10k Virtual will cost £10 to enter with £4 going to Northampton Community Sheds, a not-for-profit organisation and charity which provides a safe and friendly meeting place for men and women to work together on practical and innovating projects for the good of the community.
The Running Tales Trot! Be inspired… and get running!
Get your headphones ready for this one. We’re celebrating our Running Tales Podcast with this unique virtual run.
The rules are a bit different for this one. You can run, walk or wheel as far as you like to earn your medal – the only rule is you also have to submit your favourite quote from a recent Running Tales Podcast episode.
Complete your run in November and send us the quote by email to complete your challenge.
The Running Tales Trot will cost £10 to enter with £4 going to Project 16:15, a Northampton charity which works to support rough sleepers, as well as providing them with food and equipment such as tents and clothes.
