Event Overview
The world in which we live, and run in, is important to us which is why the phrase 'Leave Nothing But Footprints' resonates so well with the running community.
This March sees the return of the first of TWO our 'Leave Nothing But Footprints' virtual runs this year!
We know how important the environment is that we run in and also how important mental health is.
With that in mind, for each person that enters one of our virtual events, we will plant a tree and donate 1% of our profits to mental health charities.
Some of the key highlights include:
- Automatically sync runs with Strava, Garmin and Fitbit and manually add runs.
- Create or join a team.
- FREE monthly mileage tracker AND bingo card!
- Earn badges and rewards as you progress.
- Overall and individuals progress tracked against goals.

Making a difference
We believe that we can make a difference, one step at a time.
The running community can achieve great things and have already shown that through the money raised for mental health charities and the number of trees planted.
Medal Reveal
The medals for this event are made from European sourced natural birch ply which is FSC and PEFC certified. The wood used for our eco-friendly medals is an ecological and renewable material that stores carbon throughout its life cycle.
This wood comes from ethically managed forests, where more trees are planted each year than are harvested. The excess material from the UK manufacturing process goes to power a bio-mass burner on a farm, meaning that we have ZERO waste from the process.
We hope you love them as much as we do!
