To complete the challenge, walk, wheel, or run a total of 120 miles anytime between 1 - 31 March 2026. Where and when you complete your miles is entirely up to you. For example, you could run a certain number of miles each day or do a longer walk, run, or cycle at the weekends.
If you'd like to complete some of your miles indoors, like at the gym, that counts too! The important thing is that you reach a total distance of 120 miles by the end of March. You can track your miles on your fundraising page which is automatically created when you register.
You’ve got this!
When you register for the challenge you'll automatically receive a personal fundraising page. Your fundraising page can be linked to both Fitbit and Strava. Any fitness activity logged through either of these apps will automatically show on your fundraising page. If you don't use a fitness app, or the one you use isn't compatible, you can manually enter the number of miles you've completed onto your fundraising page. Once you've registered and have your page set up simply go to 'My Fitness Activity' on your dashboard.
We'll also be sending a paper step tracker to everyone who registers for the challenge, which you can fill out at home. This will be sent out with your free Do it 4 Youth t-shirt.
If you complete the challenge by the 31 March and fundraise £50 or more for the DofE charity (excluding Gift Aid), you'll also receive an exclusive 70th anniversary DofE pin badge. These will be posted out from 1 April 2026, once the challenge has finished.
