Every Day in May is an annual charity event, raising money for Dimbleby Cancer Care, that takes place every day in May! Participants pledge to cover 5km (3.1 miles) or 10km (6.2 miles), every day, by any self-powered means; a combination of walking, cycling, dancing, scootering, rowing – the choice is all yours.
When we started EDIM in 2012 it was just a running event but we quickly realised it was too restrictive for lots of people so we’ve widened it out to the purposefully generic term ‘self-powered’. So far we have had running, swimming, walking, cycling, in-line skating, as well as mixed finale sessions including Saturday Night Fevering in pyjamas!
The beauty of this event is that it is a personal challenge, not a race. And it can be done anywhere at any time of day. You can be as creative as you want if that’s your thing. We want everyone to be fit and healthy and to enjoy the outdoors. The event gets you active outside, improving your health and fitness, and in the process you raise cash for charity, improving the lives of others less fortunate. Everyone wins.
