Ready for a serious but satisfying challenge? The Prime Days Virtual Running Challenge is a bold virtual running challenge built around prime-numbered days of the year. With 72 designated run days, each requiring at least 5km, this challenge is a genuine commitment — designed for runners who want structure, consistency, and a reason to show up again and again.
This challenge requires you to run on 72 specific days, for a distance of at least 5 km.
Prime days are spread relatively evenly across the year, creating a dependable rhythm of regular running without intense clustering. That makes this virtual 5km running challenge ideal for runners who thrive on routine. Run anywhere, track with your favourite app, and complete your 5km on each prime-numbered day — no race-day pressure, just steady progress and clear goals.
Seventy-two runs is no small thing — but that’s the point. This challenge rewards persistence over pace and builds resilience through repetition. It’s perfect for intermediate and committed runners looking to maintain fitness year-round, boost mileage sensibly, or anchor their training with consistent 5km efforts. By the end of the year, you won’t just have run often — you’ll have run reliably.
Sign up for the Prime Days Virtual Challenge and commit to consistency. Mark your prime dates, plan your runs, and take on a structured virtual running experience that keeps you accountable without overwhelming you. Seventy-two runs. Five kilometres each. One year of steady progress — prime running, by design.
There are two options available to you - virtual entry, or entry where those who complete get a winner's pin - smaller but with far more longevity than a medal!
