Challenges
Every journey begins with a single stride.
Virtual running challenges bringing people across education together.
Start the journey with us.
Every community starts with a first stride.
STRIDE is just getting started, and you can be part of building something special.
The vision for STRIDE is to create accessible running challenges that bring people across education together—helping people build healthier habits, stronger connections and more sustainable lives.
Your first STRIDE challenge.
Our first challenge is deliberately simple.
Join the STRIDE Strava Club, get outside and log your first activity.
Walk. Jog. Run. Run-walk. It all counts.
One activity.
One stride.
The beginning of something bigger.
As the community grows.
Monthly challenges
Simple, inclusive challenges designed to help members build consistency, enjoy their running and encourage one another.
Shared-distance challenges
Challenges where the STRIDE community works together towards a shared goal, celebrating every contribution regardless of pace or distance.
Personal milestones
Challenges that recognise individual journeys, from taking a first step to achieving a new personal best.
Inspiring the next generation
As STRIDE grows, the ambition is to develop challenges that schools and families can take part in together.
Simple, inclusive activities could help children discover the joy of movement, build healthy habits and experience the encouragement that comes from working towards a shared goal.
Participation before performance. Every stride matters.
Built for everyone
STRIDE challenges will be designed around participation, encouragement and belonging.
Accessible
For beginners, experienced runners and everyone in between.
Flexible
Take part wherever you are and at a time that works for you.
Supportive
Share progress, encourage others and celebrate every achievement.
Purposeful
Build habits and connections that support a more sustainable life in education.
Take the first stride.
You don’t need to wait for the perfect time, the perfect plan or the perfect level of fitness.
Join the community. Get outside. Begin where you are.
Future challenges will be shared through the STRIDE website, Strava Club and newsletter.
