DARED 2021 – Get Active This Summer

“DARED was exactly the challenge I needed to get my going again after a prolonged period of laziness had set in. The support from the other participants was amazing and kept me going through highs and lows!”

What is DARED?

Put simply DARED means Doing A Run Every Day in June.

You can choose between two distances and can complete them as a series of runs, brisk walks or a combination of the two. You can choose to complete them individually or in groups, outside in the fresh air or on a treadmill.

The Beginners’ Challenge: Complete a 1 mile run every day in June.

The Experienced Challenge: Complete a 5km run every day in June.

“I loved it, I couldn’t believe how my confidence with my fitness soared. I also thought the social media support was awesome & since completing DARED 2020 I am 3 runs from completing couch to 5k – I have never been able to run longer than 3 mins before & thanks to DARED I am now at 28 minutes whilst raising awareness for an amazing charity. I can’t wait for 2021 event!”
