I Ran my Age
(IRMA)
A summer holiday virtual running challenge
Win special BRJ IRMA shoelace tag!
Over the six weeks of the summer break from school, (18th July- 2nd Septembe ) can you run enough miles to match you age? If you are seven years old that means running just over one mile each week. If older you will have to do more.
This is a fun and inclusive virtual event which encourages members of BRJ Juniors to remain active during the summer break. Participants take part with the agreement and support of their patents and carers who are responsible for safety and welfare of their children taking part.
