445km. Chip away at it.
Every run between Fri 13 Feb and Thu 14 May went towards one total. Reach 445km and you'd earned your spot in the prize draw.
One big run or loads of little ones, it didn't matter, as long as every run averaged 13:00 per km or faster on elapsed time. Spread evenly, that's just under 5km a day. Treadmill runs counted too, as long as heart rate and elapsed time showed.
187 runners. 50,884km.
The target was 445km, but the leaderboard tracked total distance, and the top runners went a long way past it. Here's who logged the most.

Didn't countTracking & Submission
- GPS fitness tracker: Apple Watch, Garmin, COROS and the like. Distance, date, pace, elapsed time, heart rate and cadence all had to show.
- Every run that went towards your total needed a screenshot of the activity summary.
- A Strava link was optional, but it sped up verification.
- Pace was worked out on total elapsed time, so stops counted.

A virtual distance challenge gives you a big total to reach over weeks or months, and lets you get there however suits you. Every run, ride or swim you log adds to your tally until you hit the target.
The targets are often real journeys: a lap of an island, a famous crossing, the length of a canyon. It turns ordinary sessions on your local loop into progress toward something you'd never do in one go.
Because you can split the distance across as many sessions as you like, it fits around work and life. Little and often gets you there just as surely as a few huge days.
