Win prizes for running

We challenged you to run consistently over the 9 weeks of the challenge.  

Not only will you receive a signed certificate from the Education Minister, but you will create healthy habits beyond the challenge period, regardless of your running ability. 

But that’s not all. 

Each week, students who log their runs, walks or wheels, went in the draw for a chance to win a prize.

Some of the weekly prizes included:

  • Apple Airtags
  • Bluetooth speakers
  • Fitbits
  • mini golf vouchers.

There’s a lot up for grabs!
