In the run up to the April Marathon in London, we have decided to encourage you brave runners to fundraise even more for the causes you care about. We congratulate Pete Wilcock again for winning JustGiving’s Sweatiest Competition with his winning photo! We have a number of competitions coming up, awarding target-busting donations and other goodies for the best fundraisers, the most committed trainers and the most creative runners.
Motivational Music Competition
What We want to hear the songs that make you run that bit further, the songs that inspire you to run in the first place. Post a link (YouTube has everything) to your song on the JustRunning Facebook community page.
Prize The song with the most “Likes” wins (hint: get your Facebook friends to Like your post!)
1st place: £100 donation to their JustGiving page and a tailored 20-minute AudioFuel* running programme.
2nd place: 3 AudioFuel programmes.
3rd place: 1 AudioFuel programme.
* AudioFuel combines coaching with music that’s custom composed for running. The beats match and drive your stride, the music energises and the lyrics inspire. If you’ve seen the Matrix, you’ve heard the music. Each playlist is categorised by beats per minute so you can find one that suits your stride length and fitness level.
When by Wednesday 23rd March at 12 noon
