🌍 WEEK 4 COMPLETE! 💚

What a final full week it’s been for Team AWR!

We’ve now reached an incredible 4,233+ miles together and we’re still proudly sitting 1st out of 46 teams. 🥇

As part of the wider Team West, we’re also holding 2nd overall, which is a brilliant achievement and something everyone involved should be proud of. 💚

The finish line is now getting very close, but there’s still time for more runs, walks, jogs, plods, encouragement and celebrations before the challenge ends.

This month has shown that every mile really does count — not just for the leaderboard, but for the community, support and healthy habits we’ve built together.

Let’s enjoy the final few days and finish strong! 🌍💚

🌍 WEEK 3 COMPLETE! 💚

What another incredible week for Team AWR!

We’ve now reached an amazing 3,203 miles together and we’re still proudly 1st out of 46 teams. 🥇

As part of the wider Team West, we’re also incredibly proud to be sitting 2nd overall—a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of everyone’s efforts. 💚

The miles are fantastic, but what stands out even more is the community we’ve built. Every run, walk, jog and plod has been backed by encouragement, support and plenty of celebrations along the way.

We’re so proud of everything we’ve achieved over the last three weeks, and with just one week left, we can’t wait to see what the final stretch brings.

Let’s finish strong! 🌍💚

🌍 WEEK 2 COMPLETE! 💚

What another incredible week for Team AWR!

We’ve now reached an amazing 1,843.3 miles, we’re still leading the challenge, and every run, walk, jog and plod has helped us get there.

The miles are fantastic, but what stands out even more is the community we’ve built. The encouragement, support, cheers and celebrations for each other have made this challenge about so much more than the leaderboard.

We’re halfway through the month, with 40 amazing members all contributing in their own way, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together. 😊

Let’s keep the momentum going and see what the second half of the challenge brings! 🌍💚

🌍 WEEK 1 COMPLETE! 💚

What a week for Team AWR!

We’ve reached an incredible 868.6 miles, grown to 40 members strong, and every run, walk, jog and plod has helped us get there.

The miles are amazing, but the best part has been seeing everyone getting involved, encouraging each other and moving in their own way.

We’re so proud of this team already 😊 and we’re only one week in!

Apparently, we really have been busy… 👟🌍
