Story
The challenge is simple in concept, but powerful in execution:
7 kilometres (Lewis's shirt number) every hour, for 24 hours.
Starting at 11:00 on 05/06/26 and Finishing at 11:00 on 06/06/26.
This is a team-based event, designed to be tough, inclusive, and shared. Teams of 2 to 8 people will take it in turns to complete each 7km leg. While not everyone runs every hour, a team member must be present for every leg, keeping the challenge continuous for the full 24 hours.
The event will start and finish at Hartley Farm in Winsley, near Bath, culminating in time for the Bath Rugby vs Leicester Tigers Premiership fixture — the two clubs Lewis proudly represented during his career.
Why We’re Doing This
MND is a cruel disease. This challenge is about:
Raising vital funds for Lewis and his family, and for MND support and research
Creating awareness through a visible, relentless physical effort
Bringing people together to show what collective effort can achieve
The Format
7km every hour for 24 hours
Teams of 2 (elite) to 8 (challenging)
Buy the number of tickets for the size of team you want to enter (up to a maximum of 8), we'll be in touch closer to the time to organise the team admin.
Teams can rotate runners however they wish, but at least one team member must be present for the run on every hour throughout the challenge.
Day and night running — head torches and high-vis clothing are mandatory
Fully supported, friendly, and community-led
Basecamp will be set in a barn at Hartley Farm, acting as the start and finish point for every run and a shared hub for all competitors. Basecamp will have access to toilets and a small kitchen, giving teams a place to regroup, refuel, and support one another throughout the challenge.
