Virtual Running Events is a UK-based online sports event platform founded in 2016, focused primarily on virtual running challenge services. After users pay to register for a themed challenge of a specific distance, they can complete the required mileage anywhere, anytime. Once they submit proof of their activity, they receive a custom themed commemorative medal, and the platform also donates 50 pence to charity from every paid order.
The platform offers themed challenges ranging from 5km to 100km, and also has categories such as annual cumulative mileage challenges and lucky blind-box medals. It supports bulk medal purchases for running clubs and family groups, with discounts of up to 30% for bulk orders — bulk delivery is only available to UK addresses, however. For pricing, individual single challenges mostly cost between £5.99 and £12.99, and the platform often runs promotional discounts of around 10%. Delivery within the UK is free, and international orders incur a £5 shipping fee per order.
Pros: The platform's rules are very flexible: there is no restriction on activity type — cycling, walking, and rowing all count toward your mileage. You also don't need to complete the challenge all in one go; you just need to hit the mileage target within the 2-3 month completion window. It is very child-friendly: children do not need to submit proof of activity, and their medals can be shipped early. Every order contributes to a charitable donation, so it combines both fitness and public good value.
Cons: International delivery has extremely long lead times; users in China can wait up to 6 weeks to receive their order. There is no refund for uncompleted challenges, and they do not guarantee to hold medal stock for participants who do not submit proof before the deadline. The entire platform is only in English, which is unfriendly for Chinese users, and medals are only shipped after proof of completion is verified — you cannot get them early.
This website is suitable for running enthusiasts who love collecting commemorative sports medals, and running clubs organizing group events. Users in China can access the website directly, but they need to cover the international shipping cost themselves and be prepared for a very long delivery wait.
