How it works
It is very simple to take part, all you have to do is choose your distance, and the period of time you will complete your challenge.
Distances:
- 1 mile – 65 lengths
- 5 mile – 325 lengths
- 10 miles – 650 lengths
- 20 miles – 1,300 lengths
- Create your own distance
Once you’ve decided on the distance, it’s time to give yourself the goal of completing the challenge. This year, we’re encouraging everyone to complete the challenge throughout November to help mark Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
