Nightmare Run Before Christmas 5k challenge

🎃 Nightmare Run Before Christmas – Virtual 5K Challenge 🎄

Dare to run before the bells ring?
Join the Nightmare Run Before Christmas 5K, a fun and spooky-festive virtual challenge that invites runners, walkers, cyclists, swimmers — anyone — to complete 5 km by Christmas Eve and claim an exclusive medal to celebrate your achievement.

🏃♂️ What’s It All About

• Do it your way
  This is a totally virtual challenge. Choose your own route, pace, and discipline (run, walking, cycling, swimming, wheelchair — whatever works for you). There are no restrictions.
• Finish by Christmas Eve
  You have until 24 December to complete your 5 km and secure your commemorative medal.
• Real-time progress & results
  After enrolling, you'll get a personalized tracking link to upload your activities. View live results sorted by age, gender, or country. See interactive “journey” maps and watch your progress toward the finish line.
• Easy uploads via Strava or manually
  Link your Strava account to automatically sync your activities — or enter them manually if you prefer.

🎖 Medal, Pride & Bragging Rights

Crossing the finish line won’t just feel good — you’ll also get a limited-edition Nightmare Run Before Christmas medal, delivered straight to your door as soon as your 5K is confirmed.

✅ Why You’ll Love It

• Celebrate your effort — Whether this is your first 5K or your fiftieth, it’s a reason to push and celebrate.
