How does it work?

This year there are four challenges going right through to the end of January, each one starting on a Monday and lasting a week.

Each week, your challenge is to use your body to move 5K Your Way.

Run, walk, cycle, paddle board, or any other modality of self-powered movement you enjoy.

Each weekly challenge costs £5 which all goes directly to the charity. If you enter all four together we'll send you a giftpack including a mixed case of ERDINGER Alkoholfrei and an event headband (see note below). Complete all four 5KYW Challenges to receive your commemorative medal.

Children under 16 are also welcome and can enter at the reduced rate of £2.50 per event and those who complete all four will get a special medal personalised with their name on.

Each week we will have a theme and encourage 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!

Week	Start Date	Theme
1	Monday January 1st	Let's see your Festive Head Wear on show
2	Monday January 8th	Get your four legged friends and kiddies involved
3	Monday January 15th	It's Fancy Dress all the way
4	Monday January 22nd	Join your local Community 5KYW Parkrun

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.

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...

• 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...

NOTE: Adult (over 16) entrants who sign up for all four weeks on the same order will be sent a giftpack by Beerhunter. The pack will include a mix of Erdinger Alkoholfrei and Grapefruit plus an event headband. Entrant details will be passed to Beerhunter in order to service this but you will have the option to opt-out if you would prefer not to receive the pack. There are a maximum of 250 Gift Packs available. These will be sent out from mid December.
