‘Conquer the Continents’ virtual 5 mile series reaches its concluding stage in Europe with another eye-catching medal to add to the collection. The round the globe series has kept us active in a year that no one will forget and its finale finds all of us hoping for normality.

Europe is the final continent in this jet-setting series from Mash Running where participants run, walk, cycle or swim 5 miles or more on a day to suit them. They can take it easy or give the legs a good workout but whatever they choose it all counts and their efforts are rewarded with a travel-themed memento.   

Whilst the vaccination rollout continues and the number of cases is falling, there is still a reminder to follow government guidelines regarding Covid-19. So pick a route close to home and if running with another person, remember to stay two metres apart. Running on a treadmill is allowed and the distance can be broken down into smaller runs rather than a single session.

Its the same format as for the previous continents: record your run/walk/cycle/swim then submit this as proof of completion. Strava link, Garmin Connect, screen grab or a photo of your finish time are acceptable. Don’t forget to take a post-run selfie which will be displayed on the Mash Running Facebook page and the Virtual Events Gallery on their website.

End the series on a high. Register for Conquer the Continents: Europe at the Mash Running website. Then unpack your suitcase and relax after this virtual running world tour.
