What is 60 miles in September?
Welcome to Mind's 60 miles challenge! Choose to walk, jog or run 60 miles throughout the month of September. Whether you complete 2 miles in a day or larger distances less often, every step brings us closer to a better future for mental health.
And by striving to meet those miles at your own pace, you'll do wonders for your own wellbeing too!
Your challenge perks!
- A free Mind t-shirt. We'll send your swag once you've completed your registration and set up your fundraising page, so you can don the official uniform of #TeamMind.
- A free tracker. You'll receive this with your t-shirt, so you can keep an eye on your progress.
- The chance to win prizes. You'll be in with a chance of winning a number of special prizes in giveaways throughout the challenge.
- The opportunity to move more. Our challenges present a great opportunity to get moving. And moving more day to day is known to help improve our overall wellbeing in lots of ways, from sleeping better to stressing less.
- A way to champion mental health for everyone (especially you). Two birds, one priority – mental health. By moving more you're prioritising your own mental health as well as raising funds. It's win-win!
