What is Big Fun Run Virtual Challenge?

Big Fun Run is about being active and having fun whilst doing it! You can complete your Big Fun Run anywhere you like and on a date that suits you.

Whether you are just starting your journey to being more active and improving fitness, or are looking for a relaxed, friendly and fun challenge to help stay motivated then Big Fun Run is for you. It’s also ideal for people who prefer not to talk part in mass participation events.

We suggest 5K as a good goal to aim for whether that's at a brisk walk, a jog or even a run. The great thing about a virtual challenge is that it's your challenge and your rules, so you can aim for a longer distance or split yout chosen distance over a number of days or weeks.
