This is a unique virtual 30km or 50K running event that will take place in Thailand and Wales and the rest of the UK! Runners from both countries will be running together to help the Wild Elephants thrive in their natural environment in Thailand’s National Parks.
We have 2 challenges for you to choose from:
1) The Ranger's Challenge-30k
30k in 30 Days - Run or walk and accumulate the distance within 30 days after you first start. ( the 30 days time limit starts from when you register your first distance on our results page)
2) The Ranger's Challenge-50k
50k in 30 Days - Run or walk and accumulate the distance within 30 days after you first start. ( the 30 days time limit starts from when you register your first distance on our results page)
3) The Elephant's Trek Challenge
30k in 1 day - If you are up for a bigger challenge you can try our The Elephant's Trek Challenge for extra kudos! Asian Wild elephants regularly carry their 4 tonne bodies 30km in a day in search of food in the forest. So you have the option of matching this and carrying your rather lighter torso around your desired location too, 30km in a 24 hour period!
