The medal comes with a deluxe gold and silver ribbon with the wording 'The School Run - 2021 Challenge' on it.

Submitted evidence can include screenshots from running apps, photographs or why not design your own distance tracker - perfect for younger runners. We encourage you to be as creative as you can with your submissions.

We also provide you with a personalised downloadable certificate which will be perfect for younger competitors to take into school. This will clearly show your name and the distance completed.
