Welcome to our free to enter Kew The Run 30 Day Challenge! You can start whenever you like and do however much of the course you like each day, wherever in the world you like, as long as you complete it within 30 days of your first run/walk. To give you an idea of this distance in steps, it's between 26,000 to 28,000 (depending on your gender and your height) to complete a half marathon. To be sent one of the official event medals we just need you to raise £50 for one of the charities listed when you enter the Challenge. If you hit £250 you'll get the official race T shirt as well and £1000 also gets you a free pair of running shoes up to the value of £150. There is no entry fee, just the fundraising. There are lots of other goodies on offer from the charities too!

Our 30 Day Challenge Kew The Run route follows the official half marathon route. The medal and T-shirt are the same ones awarded to runners who ran the official event in March.

Our 30 Day Challenge course starts virtually at Palm House, one of Kew's most famous landmarks and meanders through past all Kew's key attractions finishing at Kew's Children's Gardens in the north west. We've highlighted the key locations you'd see on the run if you were actually there; just click on each to find out more and follow the route. You can see more images of them in the photos under the map and we've included some videos to give you a flavour of the area.

At the bottom of the page is information on how to send us your evidence. Once we have approved the evidence and you hit your fundraising goal we'll send out your medal and any other goodies that your preferred charity offers. Have fun and enjoy.
