About the February Run Challenge

This February, will you run, jog or walk 50km or 100km? Every kilometre is a tribute to the resilience of the T1D community and a step closer to the cure.

Every day, people living with type 1 diabetes, and the families who support them, show strength and courage. Through hypos, midnight alarms and endless calculations, they keep going!

This challenge is your chance to honour that resilience, while having fun, staying active, and smashing a winter goal.

And if you live with T1D, or care for a child who does, you’ve already got what it takes. Bring it on!

How it works‍‍️

  1. Sign up for free and choose your distance – 50km or 100km.
  2. Set up your fundraiser on JustGiving to start raising lifesaving funds.
  3. Run, jog or walk your kilometres at your own pace throughout February.

Whether you’re chasing a personal goal, keeping your New Year fitness streak alive, or running for someone you love, take on the challenge this February.
