As you’re all doubtless aware, 2022 sees Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrate her Platinum Jubilee after 70 years on the throne.
The monarch reached the incredible milestone on February 6 this year, and there will be a four day UK bank holiday weekend from June 2-5 in her honour.
Never one to miss out on a party, we at Step Forward With Lewis have decided to dedicate one of our ever popular virtual races to the event.
As such, we’re challenging you to do ’70-somethings’ between May 1 and June 1 – with a very special Jubilee medal available at the end of the event – just in time for the Bank Holiday celebrations.
You can do 70 of what ever suits you to complete the challenge; whether that be 70 miles, 70 kms, 70 press-ups, sit-ups or laps of the garden. As long as it helps you get out, get active and get fit we don’t mind.
We’re happy if you walk, run or wheel your way to whatever distance you want; or if you complete the distance/challenge as many chunks of your fitness journey as it takes.
Entry costs £12, with £5 going to the World Cancer Research Fund.
As regular Steppers know, Michelle will be running the London Marathon for the charity this year, so charity money raised from this challenge will go to her JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sfwlmarathon
What is the challenge?
Our Jubilee challenge is to complete ’70-somethings’ between May 1 and June 1. If you complete this virtual race you will get one of our medals.
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.

Why the World Cancer Research Fund?
Michelle is running the London Marathon in October for the World Cancer Research Fund.
From her Grandad, to good friends Debs, Lisa and Wah to name a few, too many people have lost their lives to cancer.
Michelle also has friends who have survived or are currently living with cancer. We all know someone who has been affected by this disease.
£5 from every Jubilee ’70-somethings’ medal sold will go towards Michelle’s efforts to raise £2,200 for World Cancer Research Fund, and help her every step along the way at the London Marathon.
