‘Lockdown 3’ has unfortunately meant that our famous annual London Winter Walk has moved to the end of March – enough to drive us all loopy! So to make the most of it – and to get those legs in action – why not take on one of the classic London Loop routes as a virtual challenge?

There are 4 capital circumnavigation options – from the 60 km ‘Jubilee Greenway’ which passes many historic sites in the heart of London, and was completed to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen – up to the lesser known 346 km of the ‘London Countryway’ on a far outer orbit through the green belt and surrounding counties with numerous areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Choose your Challenge – take it on anywhere, anytime throughout February – including treadmills, trips to the supermarket, or sections of the actual route if you’re able to – log your activity on out ‘Loops Virtual Map’ – and share your progress and stories online as we all go around in circles – clockwise!

There’s a prize draw for all completing their challenge by the month end – with £500 of kit vouchers to be won. So get your gear ready – and let’s get in shape for the brighter times ahead!

It's simple to log your miles either manually or, if you have a free Strava account, automatically.
