30 Apr We want you to run for Mental Health
Social isolation has made a massive impact on all of our lives, so there is no better time to take advantage of the positive impact that exercise has on our mental well-being.
The restrictions have resulted in the cancellation of community sport and many social sporting events. Often these events are great ways to motivate people to exercise and we don’t want this to change.
Time to challenge yourself and sign up to the SportsFit Isolation Fun Run. Together (in isolation) we can make a difference.
What is the SportsFit Isolation Fun Run?
Set a goal of either completing a 5km, 10km or Half Marathon run. Your goal may include completing this distance for the 1st time or setting a personal best time. Over the weekend of 18-19thJuly, you start your race from your own home and choose the starting time and where to run – as long as you can measure and record your distance and time. You will be running against yourself but with the support of the SportsFit community.
