My March in march
When and where do I complete my 10 miles?
You can complete the challenge at any time in March! How and where you complete the challenge is completely up to you, which means the event can be adjusted to your own personal challenge – walk 10 miles in one day, beat your personal best by running 10 miles as fast as possible or do it indoors on a treadmill.
Be careful, stay safe, use your best judgement and wear high-vis clothing if out at night.
What if I can't do 10 miles in one day?
No problem! If you can't do your 10 miles in one day, you can spread it out over a number of days in March to suit you. March in March is a virtual event done your way.
Can I do more than 10 miles?
Absolutely! March in March is a personal challenge and can be adjusted to fit your own goal.
Can I take part with family and friends?
Yes – the more the merrier!
