For those of you that missed out (as it got booked up rather quickly). The RBL Poppy Challenge on Virtual Runner will release 150 more spaces next week.

Challenge details:

This challenge is different from our usual races and is live between 1st - 30th November. In the month, run, swim, walk and cycle as far as you can to add to our collective km total. Our aim is to complete 88,824.6km. 888,246 is a significant number, as represents the number of poppies displayed at the Tower of London last year to remember the fallen soldiers in WW1. You must submit a minimum of 33km to qualify for this challenge. . A 20% donation from every race fee will be donated to the British Legion.

If you don't get a place try emailing to ask if you can be put on a wait list in case of cancellations. I did that with the original allocation and was given a cancelled place. The email offering me the place did say that almost never happens but may be worth a shot.
