01 How it works

One run. Make it bloody long.

Lace up and run as far as you can in one continuous activity. There's no minimum distance, and the further you go, the more tickets you earn.

Keep your average pace at 15:00 per km or faster, track it on a GPS watch or running app, and log it in the Harry's app. Treadmills are allowed. You can only have one run submitted at a time, so make it a big one.

04 The format

How does an as-far-as-you-can challenge work?

Some challenges have no finish line. You get one continuous activity, a run, a ride or a swim, and your score is simply how far you went before you stopped.

That changes how you prepare. Pace for the long haul, not the first hour. Plan your water and food before you start, because one continuous effort means one long day out, and running out of fuel ends more big efforts than tired legs do.

It also suits everyone. A first-timer and a seasoned ultra athlete are both chasing the same thing: further than they've gone before.

One continuous activity
The whole distance in a single recorded effort, not several stitched together.
Fuelling
Eating and drinking during a long effort to keep your energy up.
Personal best
The furthest you've ever gone. The real target in a challenge like this.
