If you’re struggling to keep up with your new year’s resolution fitness goals, why not take on the 50 Miles in February Challenge and leap into action in support of Wakefield Hospice?

Running throughout the month of February, whether completing the challenge on your own, with friends and family or with a four-legged companion, the challenge is a great way to support Wakefield Hospice whilst getting out and getting active this February.

Theresa Barrett, Head of Fundraising, said: “Taking on the challenge of completing 50 miles throughout the month – however you choose to do so – will not just present personal benefits, but the money you raise will also help to fund vital care services provided by Wakefield Hospice for local patients and their families.”

People can choose to complete their miles split evenly across the 29 days of February, or by completing different distances across the month.

Theresa said: “We have already seen a good number of sign ups since launching the event earlier this month, and our online community for the event – hosted via our “50 miles in February Facebook Group” – will no doubt be a great help in spurring one and other on in completing the challenge.

“Given we are now in a leap year, we are asking each participant to set a sponsorship target of £150, and collectively help us to fund the extra day in 2024.”

Everyone who signs up to take on the challenge will also be given a commemorative ’50 Miles in February’ woolly hat.
