River Nile 600 Mile Challenge

 Can you Run, walk, cycle, use of a wheelchair, or a combination of any, 600 miles along our river Nile tracking map to earn our biggest and most beautiful medal to date?

The virtual map starts North of Cairo and follows the Nile down to the Aswan dam, and your journey is depicted on the rear of this stunning medal.

There is no time limit on this challenge, and medals will be sent as soon as you cross the finish line.

Like all of our distance challenges, this can be done simultaneously with other distance challenges, for example, if you are doing the Autumn 100 mile event, you can add a single activity to both distance logs. 

Submitting and Claiming your Medal

You will be emailed a separate link / web page when you sign up, to upload your progress as and when you want to.  Your medal will be sent as soon as you 'complete the map' *please email us at info@racethedistance.com if your link doesn't arrive.

Checking Your Progress

We have a real-time results system with instant tables, sort-able by age, gender and Country.   We also have live tracking 'journeys' with fully interactive maps for our annual and seasonal longer challenges!
