RUN THE BLOCK

24 HOURS. 5K AT A TIME.

Friday 27 November → Saturday 28 November 2026
7PM – 7PM
Be More Athlete HQ
£40 per person
In support of Movember

Run The Block is a 24-hour community endurance event built around one simple goal:

HOW FAR CAN WE GO TOGETHER?

This is not a competition. We are all in this together.

For those that do want to push themselves, we will have prizes for total laps but this isnt the whole goal.

Every 5K loop completed by every participant gets added to one huge community lap total. You can run, jog or walk.

Our target? 500 LAPS.

That’s 2,500KM together in 24 hours.

We’re aiming to get local businesses involved by pledging £1 for every lap completed, turning every single 5K into even more money raised for Movember.

HOW IT WORKS

Enter solo, as a pair, or in a team of 3 or 4.

Only one person from your team needs to be out on the 5K course at a time.

Complete your loop, return to BMA HQ and tag the next person.

Then recover.

Eat.

Sleep.

Have a coffee.

Cheer everyone else on.

And when you're ready, head back out again.

Whether your team completes 5 laps or 50, they all count towards the same goal.

Every lap matters.

BMA HQ BECOMES BASECAMP

For the full 24 hours, the gym becomes home.

Bring your deckchairs, sleeping bags, blankets, running kit, changes of clothes and whatever else you need to make yourself comfortable between loops.

We'll have a live RUN THE BLOCK total-laps board inside HQ so everyone can watch us move closer and closer to 500.

And we're making sure there are a few things to look forward to along the way. Your money gets you:

🍕 11PM Domino’s delivery

🌙 Overnight snacks, fuel and hydration at HQ

🍔 6AM McDonald’s breakfast delivery

☕ Rude Coffee delivery to bring everyone back to life in the morning

🎧 DJs for the final few hours as we build towards the 7PM finish

Plus plenty more planned across the 24 hours.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A RUNNER

This is important.

You can walk the loops.

You don't need to be fast.

And you definitely don't need to be capable of running for 24 hours.

A team of four could complete one 5K each, recover while everyone else takes their turn, and simply keep contributing whenever they're ready.

Someone might run.

Someone might walk.

Someone might do one lap.

Someone else might do ten.

They all count exactly the same towards our total.

This is about getting as many people as possible moving for 24 hours and seeing what we can achieve as one community.

£40 PER PERSON

Solo — £40
Pair — £80
Team of 3 — £120
Team of 4 — £160

What youre locking in for:

The darkness.
The 3AM loops.
The pizza.
The tired legs.
The sunrise.
The coffee.
The music.
The final push.

Then at 7PM on Saturday, the clock stops and we find out what we achieved together.

The target: 500 LAPS. 2,500KM.
