About the challenge

The Adidas Women’s 5K Challenge will take place in London in 2009. Every year it is a thoroughly enjoyable day for the thousands of women of all ages and abilities who take part.

‘The 5K was my first running event, so a whole new challenge for me. On the day I was really nervous but the atmosphere was amazing and I felt even more inspired to do the run. I’m really proud of my achievement and I’ll be trying to beat my time next year.’ Gurdev Sagoo, Mind Events Administrator and 1^st time 5K runner.
