The March Monthly Challenge 2021

Each month, Walk the Walk bring you different walking challenges. This month is all about getting to grips with good technique that will help to increase your speed. Sounds simple, but it actually does take a bit of mastery and practice. Whilst walking generally is good for the mind, body and soul, it's worth knowing that the faster you go, the more technique you will need. 

What is 'Find your Mojo... March'?

This month we ask you to focus on yourself, use this walking challenge as a bit of 'me time' and forget about anything other than moving forward with good technique... this means giving your arms and legs a good workout!

You have from 1st - 31st March to complete one of the distances listed below within the set time. 

We will send you everything you need to help you achieve your goal, and you've got time to do a few practice walks!

Upload your picture showing your completed distance in your set time!

Please take a picture or screen shot to show your completed distance in the time allowed and upload it here. This must be received by Sunday 4th April 2021 to enable us to send your well-deserved medal (paid option). Please note: Even if you connect to Strava and it has uploaded your completed challenge to your fundraising page, this form must also be completed in order to confirm your proof of completion.

Once we have notification your challenge is complete we will send an online congratulatory certificate and your well-deserved medal will follow in the post.

What is Strava?

Strava is a free app to download, that uses GPS to record your distance walked... this can be automatically connected to your online fundraising page on entry.

How do I get it?

You can connect your Strava account when you create your online fundraising page or later on via the "Connect to Strava" button on your fundraising page. This will be visible when you are logged in.

IMPORTANT! Your Strava settings!

When you are completing your training and challenge miles, ensure Strava is set to 'Everyone' so your miles will show on your online fundraising page for all to see.

For all training or non-challenge walks set Strava to 'private' if you would prefer it not to appear on your online fundraising page.

Is there a deadline for giving in my proof of completion?

Yes. This date is the 4th April 2021. We will send you an email to remind you a few days before the deadline to send in your proof of completion by uploading a picture of your distance and time by using this form. We need to receive this on time to be able to send you your medal.

What will happen if I don’t get my proof of completion to you in time?

We will send you an email to remind you a few days before the deadline to send in your proof of completion. If we do not receive this in time we will be unable to send you your medal.
