How it works
No start line, no travel, no cut-off time. Choose your distance, move it your way, and earn a real medal you’ll be proud to wear.
Four simple steps
From picking a challenge to wearing your medal — here’s the whole journey.
Choose your challenge
Pick a distance and a design that motivates you — anything from a gentle 1.5 miles to an epic 100+.
Start your training
Lace up and build towards your goal at your own pace — walk, jog, run or ride, whenever suits you.
Earn your medal
We post your medal within 3 to 5 days, so it’s on its way while you complete your challenge.
Log your distance
Record your miles and climb the leaderboard to see how you stack up against the community.
More than just a medal
A real medal
A chunky, characterful medal posted to your door — not a printable certificate.
Total flexibility
Take part anywhere, any time, at any pace. Your challenge fits around your life.
Live events & community
Join seasonal live events, climb the leaderboard, and take part alongside the whole Running Mad community.
Common questions
Do I have to finish it in one go?
Not at all. You can complete your distance in a single effort or build it up over several days or weeks — whatever works for you.
How do I record my distance?
However you prefer. Most people use a running app or fitness watch, but a treadmill readout or your own log is completely fine. There’s no strict tracking requirement.
Can I walk instead of run?
Absolutely. Walk, jog, run or cycle — every challenge welcomes every pace and every fitness level.
When will my medal arrive?
We post your medal within 3 to 5 working days of your order, so it’s on its way while you complete your challenge, with worldwide delivery. You’ll find current dispatch and delivery details on our Delivery & Shipping page.
