10 days of 5ks in June

The challenge is to complete 10 days of 5ks during the month of June. You can Run, Jog or Walk throughout the month to hit the target, all while raising funds for Pieta.

You can use the personal tracker in the leaflet which is linked in the Facebook Group, just write down how many kilometers you do at the end of each day. Don’t forget to post in the Facebook Group HERE and let us know how you are getting on! 

You can use your preferred fitness tracking device to do this. People taking on these challenges have previously used Strava, FitBit and Apple Health apps.

As part of this challenge, you will be asked to set up a ‘10 Days of 5ks’ GoFundMe Fundraising Page for Pieta, where you can post your kilometers or the 5k’s you complete to keep your donors up to date. You can also track your progress on our challenge tracker so you know once you’ve completed the challenge

You can register for the challenge T-shirt HERE.  Everyone who receives one or more donations on their fundraiser will be sent a Pieta t-shirt.

Once you have completed the registration form, you’ll be asked to set up your GoFundMe donation page - If you missed that step don’t worry, you can create your fundraiser HERE.

Yes, that is no problem. Once you register and create your fundraising page, you can make a self donation to your page. That way you’ll still receive your challenge t-shirt.

Pieta will only be providing a T-shirt to those who raise funds throughout this challenge.

Please allow up to 5-7 working days after your first donation for your T-shirt to arrive. This is a large fundraising event, so we thank you for your patience.
