Walking challenge to raise money for farming charities

Farming Today has reported that rural communities are being encouraged to take part in walking challenges to raise money for countryside charities tackling barriers to ‘rural thriving’

As well as helping personal mental health, the initiative will raise awareness and funds for rural charities that have been impacted by the lack of fundraising events in 2020.

The challenge, #Run1000, is calling on people to sign up to be part of one of five teams – England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the rest of the world.

The competition will take place from 1 January to 31 January 2021, and will see each team run or walk 1,000 miles, with the nation that reaches the milestone first announced as the winner.
