What is the 50 Miles in January Challenge?

The idea is simple: complete 50 miles throughout January by running, walking, swimming, cycling—or any activity you choose. You can go solo, team up with friends or family, or even rally your colleagues to take on the challenge together. It’s a flexible, fun, and rewarding way to start the new year on the right foot.

But it’s not just about fitness. Every mile you cover and every pound you raise will go towards supporting the incredible work Pompey in the Community does. From educational programmes and sports activities to initiatives that bring people together, your efforts will directly help create a stronger, healthier, and more connected Portsmouth.

Why Should You Take Part?

The benefits of joining this challenge go far beyond just completing 50 miles. Here are just a few reasons to sign up:

  1. Get Active: January can feel like a sluggish month after the holidays, but this challenge will keep you moving and motivated.
  2. Make a Difference: By raising funds, you’ll be supporting life-changing programmes that benefit individuals and families across Portsmouth.
  3. Build Community: Share your journey with others, cheer each other on, and connect with like-minded people who want to make a difference.
  4. Flexibility: Choose how you complete your 50 miles—it’s entirely up to you! Whether it’s daily walks, weekend swims, or evening cycles, you set your own pace.
  5. Achieve a Goal: There’s nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment when you reach 50 miles and know you’ve contributed to something bigger than yourself.

Fundraising

There is no minimum fundraising target, our aim is to get as many people moving as possible. However, if you need that extra incentive:

  • If you raise over £100, you’ll receive a special gift from us
  • The Top 3 Fundraisers will get the opportunity to have a pitch edge presentation just before one of Portsmouth FC Men’s home games at Fratton Park
