We’ve teamed up with Virtual Runner UK to bring you an International Women’s Day Virtual Challenge
Here at boobydoo we are always trying to think of new and fun challenges to set our boobydooers which is why we’ve teamed up with Virtual Runner UK to bring you this exciting International Women’s Day challenge which will raise money for Girl Guiding UK.
Please note this challenge has now ended, follow us on social to hear about any future challenges we do with Virtual Runner UK.
Virtual Runner UK was created by Susan when she struggled to find a race that was close to home, and she could fit into her busy lifestyle. She created Virtual Runner, a huge online platform which allows you to take part in challenges wherever you are, raise money for charity and earn a uniquely designed medal at the end for your efforts.
How the virtual challenge works
Step 1: Sign up to the challenge
Our International Women’s Day Challenge will be taking place between the 1st and 31st March. During that period, you can cover as much or as little distance as you want, at any time and at your own pace.
The challenge costs £13 to enter and a minimum of 20% of the entry fee will be going to Girl Guiding UK.
Step 2: Track your distance
You can run, walk, cycle, or use any gym equipment where you can track your distance. We hope you will join us in running a mile on International Women’s Day (Tuesday 8th March).
Step 3: Track your results
You then need to submit proof that you have completed the challenge (app screenshots or Park Run stats) to the Virtual Runner platform, and they will send you your exclusive medal!
Our International Women’s Day Challenge is the perfect way to set yourself a new challenge and raise money for charity at the same time – why not make it interesting and sign up with your family and friends so you can all take part in the challenge together.
We had lots of charity nominations sent to us from our boobydooers and one that particularly stood out to us was Girl Guiding UK and the work they do:
'They support girls across the country to develop into young women teaching them skills that are relevant to women in the 21st Century all whilst having a load of fun. Girlguiding gives girls and young women a safe space to try new things, understand themselves and others, and stand up for what is important to them. Experiences had as a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or Ranger often shape women’s futures and stay with women for the rest of their lives.’
Remember to get in touch with us on social to let us know how you are getting on with the challenge and tag us in your medal selfies at the end so we can share them!
