After a well earned rest this month, February will see the return of our ever popular virtual run events.

This time round we’re challenging you all to do the best 5k you can possibly do! We don’t mind whether that means completing your fastest or first parkrun, conquering the distance in one of your regular runs or completing it in as many chunks of your fitness journey as it takes.

And it’s you up to you how you do it: Run, walk or wheel – as long as you don’t drive 😂

Each entry will cost £12, with £5 of that going towards Northampton’s incredible Bridge Substance Misuse Programme.

Of course, as ever with our virtual challenges, it’s all about getting out, keeping fit and earning yourself one of our amazing medals as well.

 

What is the challenge?

 

Our February challenge is to run, walk or travel in your wheelchair a total of 5km across the month.

If you complete this virtual race you will get one of our medals.

You can do this in one go or maybe break it down in to as many different ones as you see fit.

It’s really entirely up to you – pick your challenge, smash it out the park and pick up our funky medal!

As ever, we don’t insist on seeing proof – we’re trusting souls and you’d only be cheating yourselves! – but if can let us know when you’ve finished, or perhaps send us some pictures to share on our social media channels, that’d be great.

What is Bridge?

 

As part of Bridge’s mentoring programme, the charity recruits, trains and supervises volunteers who have had drug or alcohol problems themselves, or close contact with people who have.

They act as mentors or support workers to clients with drug or alcohol problems. The aim is to help Bridge members deal with their substance misuse by providing practical support in relation to social aspects which impact negatively on their lives.

In addition, members are offered assistance with education, training and/or employment and housing issues.
