The thinking behind the Great Treadmill and Running Challenge...
With sedentary lifestyles posing ever greater problems around the globe, the need for exercise to be fun is more important than ever.
Although people often recognise the benefits of exercise, one of the main barriers to exercise participation is a lack of motivation.
We aim to motivate people to take more exercise through the creation of unique challenge groups, which can genuinely cater for people of all abilities.
The site is designed for all types of people from those taking their very first step to more established runners.
We encourage you to walk at first, and gradually improve over time. There’s no hurry and the main thing is that the exercise is safe, enjoyable, and most of all.. FUN!
You don’t even need access to a treadmill to take part. Although a treadmill is ideal for these shorter distances, there are plenty of outdoor challenges. This ensures everyone can join in the fun!
It FREE to join. You do not have to pay to register and use this site.
We also believe in helping good causes. That’s why it is perfect for people to set challenges with the aim of raising monies for charity. We also have our own Trust fund, which will provide help to people in areas where funding is not readily available. Indeed, a percentage of any site sponsor's revenue will go straight into this fund.
Enjoy! Go on.. Challenge yourself, challenge your friends, and challenge the world!
