Are you a runner, a club athlete, cyclist, a keen walker, or even a dog walker, just intent on maintaining a certain level of fitness, with some new and exciting event that may be offered and enjoyed within your local community?
If so, then have you considered taking part in some VIRTUAL EVENTS ranging from 1k, 5k, 10k, half marathon to marathons, with an additional opportunity to help fundraise for good causes, or just to complete a specific distance or challenge, in your own time, and at your own pace, either on your own, or with family and friends?
Many regular runners and walkers are constantly complaining about the increased entry costs for both major city centre races, and even local runs, with some 10ks, half marathons, and full marathons, regularly charging anything from £45 to £100, plus the additional hassle of travel, overnight accommodation, petrol, parking and the stress of competition!
Coast and Country online magazine is therefore keen to help promote and enhance a new and rapidly expanding healthy fitness option, open to runners, walkers, dog walkers, cyclists, groups and/or individuals to enjoy a new and flexible keep-fit option without any heavy and unnecessary expenses.
We have teamed up with The Running Bug – an experienced Virtual Event organisation - that offers many different online and interesting events to choose from, where you can select a favourite distance from a comprehensive list of options, which provide flexibility with minimum hassle. And we can offer our readers and supporters a special 10% discount of any races highlighted.
These events are all ideal for a beginner, or an experienced athlete, with superb medals given in recognition of your achievement, for a very reasonable entry fee. Also available are children’s races and charity races.

A few suggestions and examples include: The Chocolate 10k on 7th July; The May Day Mile from 2-4th May and 23-25th May; the World Cup run on 19th July; the Chicken Run which can be completed anytime during May; and the Doggie Dash on 26th July - which offers a variety of distances including 1k, 4k.10k and 10 miles.
