How does it work?
There are five challenges in January, each one starting on a Freiday and lasting a week.
Each week, your challenge is to use your body to move 5K Your Way.
Run, walk, cycle, kayak, or any other modality of self-powered movement you enjoy.
Each weekly challenge costs £5 which all goes directly to the charity.
If you didn’t enter in time, you can enter any time up to the following Thursday.
You can enter your time manually, use the integrated stopwatch on your Ticket, or link your Garmin Connect account to have that upload automatically. For instructions on how to enter your times see this page, if you need additional help there's an FAQ page as well.
Each Monday we are encouraging everyone to share their pictures of how they did their 5K their way on the ERDINGER Alkoholfrei Facebook page. We will be giving out a selection of Spot Prizes to encourage you!
Complete all five challenges to receive a commemorative medal.

What is it for?
5K Your Way is a community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and those working in cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5k Your Way parkrun event on the last Saturday of every month.
This initiative was founded by Lucy Gossage, Oncologist at Nottingham City Hospital and a 12 times Ironman Champion, and Gemma Hillier-Moses, International Runner and Founder of MOVE charity who was diagnosed with cancer herself at the age of 24 in 2012. Lucy and Gemma are both hugely passionate about supporting people living with and beyond cancer through the power of movement, also supporting the wider cancer community including friends, family members, doctors, nurses and health professionals.
All of the money will go back into the 5k Your Way initiative, run through MOVE Charity. This will enable more people to start Moving Against Cancer.
A few notes before you go...
- Remember to stick to the current social distancing rules... Give way to others when you are moving.
- Remember this is your own route at your own pace.
- This is all about completing the 5K Your Way. Any kind of self powered movement can count.
- If 5K in one go is too much, then you can amalgamate a few shorter distances together (just enter the combined time).
- Submit your photographic evidence...
