The Running Bug

The Running Bug is an online virtual challenge website with one aim, to help people stay motivated. In 2020, we launched the website during the grip of the COVID pandemic. With the UK in lockdown, we wanted to keep the country positive and give them something to look forward to.

We try to be flexible and cater for all with our virtual challenges from people starting to run, 5k park runners, occasional walkers or seasoned marathon and ultra runners. We have even started virtual challenges for children. Once you have completed your challenge, you’ll be rewarded for your achievement with a stylish finishers medal.
