Remembrance Day 11 Mile Challenge 2026
11 Miles. 11th November. We Will Remember Them.

This November, take on our Remembrance Day 11 Mile Virtual Challenge and cover **11 miles in honour of those who have served, sacrificed and continue to serve.

The challenge is inspired by 11th November – Remembrance Day, marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War and giving us an opportunity to remember the courage and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community, past and present.

Complete your 11 miles by walking, running, cycling, swimming or combining activities. You can complete the distance all at once, over several outings, or gradually throughout November – your challenge, your way.

Supporting Our Armed Forces Community
This challenge is about more than earning a medal.

10% of every entry will be donated to Armed Forces charities, split equally between SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity and the Royal British Legion.

That means 5% of every entry goes to SSAFA and 5% to the Royal British Legion, helping support serving personnel, veterans and their families.

Your Challenge
Cover 11 miles during November 2026 and, once you've completed your challenge, celebrate your achievement with our specially designed 2026 Remembrance Day medal, featuring the words:

LEST WE FORGET
We Will Remember Them. Always.

Whether you walk 11 miles in one meaningful journey, run it as a personal challenge, or complete a mile or two at a time, every mile is an opportunity to remember.

Distance: 11 Miles
When: 1st–30th November 2026
How: Walk, Run, Cycle or Swim
Where: Anywhere
Charity Donation: 10% of every entry, split equally between SSAFA and the Royal British Legion

Remember. Respect. Challenge yourself.

Lest We Forget. Medal will be sent in November.
