The 5 Capitals Virtual Challenge 2026
What is the Challenge?
The 5 Capitals Virtual Challenge is a collective mission to bridge the distance between the five iconic capital cities of the UK and Ireland: London, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, and Edinburgh.
The total distance connecting these historic hearts spans approximately 1219 miles. But here’s the twist: you don’t have to be a pro athlete to help us get there. This is a community-powered challenge where every mile moved by our supporters counts toward our grand total.
How We Will Complete It: "Do It Your Way"
This challenge is designed for everyone. Whether you are a morning marathoner or a weekend wanderer, you can contribute to the journey. We are tracking the total distance covered by our entire community until we have "visited" all five capitals.
You choose your discipline:
-
Run: Tackle your local trails or hit the treadmill.
-
Walk: Every step counts, from the daily commute to a hike in the park.
-
Ride: Clock up the big kilometers on your bike or a stationary cycle.
-
Swim: Dive in and log your lengths at the local pool.
-
Row: Pull your weight on the water or the rowing machine.
