Be-ho-ho-hold, Great Run have announced the return of the Christmas #GreatRunSolo Accumulator Challenge to keep you festively fuelled this December.

Complete the 12 runs of Christmas (or more – why not?) of any distance between 1 and 25 December and earn yourself a special Christmas tree medal decoration. One of the best things about the accumulator challenge is that you can complete your 12 (or more) runs anywhere you like and at any time of day that works for you. So whether it’s an early morning jog on the beach, a lunch-time run to the shops, or a late night walk with the dog – they all count!

But wait, there’s myrrh… to keep you from going crackers the challenge also includes festive activities for you to complete as you go as well as an optional distance challenge. Depending on how far you can run during the challenge, you will be rewarded with a bespoke digital certificate to download and share:

• A round of santa-plause – 30 miles
• Holy Night! – 60 miles
• There’s Snow Stopping You – 100 miles

The weather outside it frightful, but this challenge is so delightful! There are a limited number of entries available so make sure you don’t miss out on the festive fun!
