September Reset Challenge
Recharge your energy. Reboot your routine. One mile at a time.
September is a time for fresh starts — a perfect moment to ease back into a routine that works for you. Whether you're back from a break, juggling work and life, or just ready to move a little more, September Reset is your invitation to press reset.
🎯 The challenge: walk, run, swim or cycle one mile a day. A lunchtime stroll, a walk-and-talk with a colleague, a spin around the block - it all counts. This is about building habits, not pressure.
🏅 Complete 16 daily miles by the end of the month to enter our monthly prize draw for vouchers.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

Something to Aim for This Autumn
Although summer is sadly coming to a close, this is a brilliant time to set yourself a fresh goal – something fun, achievable and active to start working towards. Whether it’s a 5K walk, a charity hike, a fun-run, an inflatable obstacle course or even a dance-a-thon, having something on the calendar gives your movement meaning and keeps motivation ticking.
You don’t need to be sporty or fast – just pick something that excites you. A gentle training plan like Couch to 5K can guide beginners towards an October parkrun, or if running’s not your thing, look for a local walking event or active challenge that suits your pace.
Setting a goal now gives you time to build up gradually, enjoy the process, and feel good about what you’re doing. So grab a friend, find an event that sparks your interest, and make it your autumn mission. Small steps now, big rewards later!

Ben's parkrun journey
"Ben’s autism was life defining and he had a range of serious health issues. But from being over 17 stone, anxious, fully dependent and isolated, with no self belief in that he could be a runner alongside his siblings, he is now smashing out 5ks week after week, running independently, making friends, cheering on others, hitting goals, volunteering and living his best life in a strong and healthy body.
These life skills have been transferable - he enjoys walking and shopping alone and has a great social life."
How brilliant to hear Ben's story via his sister Emily. Physical activity, community and inclusion can have so many benefits for so many people. The transformative effects of parkrun, and physical activity, are amazing. Congratulations to Ben on his 150th parkrun!
Getting more physically active can impact your life in ways you never expected, including the brilliant effects on your physical and mental wellbeing. Every move makes a difference!
