About

Please note. If you want to take part in #Run1000 then you need to Join Team (scroll to bottom of this page) which will enable you to set up your own page and your distance will then count towards the Team total in January.

From 1st to 31st January we'll be taking part in the #Run1000 challenge aiming to walk and/or run as many miles as possible to raise awareness of mental wellbeing in rural areas.

Team Scotland is back and looking forward to taking on the challenge of #Run1000 in 2022!

The Five Nations #Run1000 challenges Scotland, Wales, England, Ireland and New Zealand in a competition to run a minimum of 1000 miles in January! It isn't about the speed or the distance, it is all about the taking part no matter how little the distance is, every mile is counted. By joining Run1000 you will be raising vital funds for rural mental health charities whilst encouraging each other to improve our mental and physical health. While of course helping Team Scotland to win!

And all money raised goes directly to supporting eight fantastic charities.

Last year Team Scotland covered 12,930 miles which is just over half the circumference of the world! We also were delighted to be the team that logged the most distance per group member. Not bad when we had just under half the number of participants that the winning team had. However, us Scots are a determined bunch and WE CAN do better! So c’mon, sign up for your country, join our team and let’s go for that win in 2022.

Our chosen charity this year will again be RSABI alongside 7 other fantastic charities, all of whom, provide mental health support for those within the rural sector.

And if you can’t take part then please do consider donating to #Run1000 and cheer us all on from afar throughout the month of January.

Please, join Team Scotland and donate £20 to participate and be admitted to the Strava group!

Get your trainers on for your country!

We can do this for SCOTLAND
