Do I have to complete my distance in one go?

No. The best part about participating in virtual running events is that you can complete the pledged distance (10km, 21km, 42km or 100km) however you like during a set timeframe. Equal Write to Read goes from the 1st – 31st March 2024. This means that you have an entire month to complete your kms. You can split up the distance or you can run the total km in one go. Daily steps do NOT count towards the total.

What is the best method to record my distance?

There are several apps like Strava that you can use to track your run activity, or you can use your watch if it has GPS. Daily step counts do NOT contribute to your activity total.

Do I have to provide my results to get my medal?
