Residents of Dacorum are being encouraged to get active in the run up to the London Marathon, by participating in a virtual marathon. Between now and the 26th April, the idea is to run, cycle, scoot, wheel, walk or swim your way to completing the 42km. Take your time and do a few kilometres a day, or race to the finish line in a week. It’s up to you!
We know that getting outside and being active is good for our mental and physical health. Sometimes we just need a bit of extra motivation to help us do it! A virtual marathon is a great way of motivating yourself and/or your children to get outside. And who doesn’t love the idea of getting a medal at the end!
Boxmoor Virtual Marathon is being organised by three secondary students to raise money for a volunteering expedition with Camps International. to Borneo in July 2027. While in Borneo, the students will be involved in community and conservation projects, which are designed to help meet United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Local business Boxmoor Yoga is supporting the event for the third year running, and Teamware are supporting by providing t-shirts.
For further information and to register for the event go to: boxmooryoga.wixsite.com/boxmoor-marathon
It’s £10 to enter and you also have the option to buy a t-shirt. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Find us at @boxmoorvirtualmarathon
