Experience the thrill of running wherever you are in the country by taking on the Great Run Summer Run Solo. All you have to do is complete a minimum of 12 runs or walks (of any distance) between 1 and 31 July to earn a sizzling summer-themed medal.

If you want to challenge yourself that little bit more, then complete 30, 60, or 100 miles for a bespoke digital certificate (plus some serious bragging rights, of course)!

This virtual training challenge is for runners of all levels, allowing you to run at your own pace, on your own schedule. If you are taking part in one of Great Run's autumn events such as the Great North Run, Great South Run or Great Scottish Run, then this is the perfect tool to kickstart your training and ensure you’re race-day-ready.

From 1 July, you can log your runs with Great Run's online tracker or use your own tracking app or device to record your activity if you prefer.  Once you’ve completed all your runs and reached your target distance, submit your results and we’ll have your digital finisher’s certificate ready.

Taking part costs just £15 and includes access to the tracking tool, fantastic medal and a digital certificate for finishers. All entrants will also receive access to the Great Run rewards scheme with Endurance Zone which provides you with fantastic offers and deals from some of the biggest sports brands in the industry.
