Run Sydney Virtual 

The 10 day Challenge; to complete this challenge you need to complete 2.62 miles every day for 10 days. By doing so you will complete a marathon distance over the 10 days. If you record all of your times on each of the 10 days through our online runners console, you will receive your marathon time.  10 x 2.62 = 26.2 miles.

You can also split the distance up in one of the following ways:

• 26.1 miles as a individual
• 13.1 miles in a pair (13.1 Miles per person)
• 10.54 miles in a team of 4 (10.54 Km per person)
• 5.27Km in a team of 8 (5.27Km per person)
• 2.62 miles in a team of 10 (2.62miles per person)
• 1.048 miles in a team of 25 (1.048 miles per person)

On completion, your marathon time will be calculated and added to the Run Sydney leader board and you will then be rewarded with the Run Sydney bronze medal.
