Pole to Pole

After the huge success  of our virtual events in 2021, including nearly making it all the way from Pole to Pole via Uganda , we've decided to see if we can help Santa travel all the way from the North Pole to the South Pole, this time leading up to Christmas.

We're aiming to cover 18,100 miles and raise £20,000 for Humanity Direct over the course of the event, which runs from December 1st to Christmas Day.

All of the money raised will go to fund Humanity Direct's essential work in Uganda, including performing life-saving surgeries and supporting their ongoing Spectacles For Children program.

The event is free to enter, and you can check your progress on our live leaderboard, so get your friends involved and see who can cover the most miles while supporting a great cause!

Included in your entry you will get a Santa buff and a medal showing the distance you covered – 50km, 100kms, 150kms, 200kms or 250 kms.

All your on-foot miles count, recorded between the 1st and 24th (midnight) of December.

Log your miles automatically if you have ether Strava or a Garmin Connect account, or there's a simple manual recording tool built in to the event page.

If you use automatic logging, remember that we can only see public activities and they must be listed as a walk, hike, run or virtual run.
