We are the Vitality Running World Cup Champions!

How we performed (spoiler: we won!)

From 21 September to 10 October 2021, 628 000 registered runners across the globe ran a total of 3.2 million km in the Vitality Running World Cup. Imagine running from earth to space and back - that's how far we ran together! Out of this world!

We also donated 189 403 polio vaccines to children in need via UNICEF, and set a new Guinness World Record for completing 19 862 virtual 5 km runs in 24 hours on 25 September.

But the winning doesn't end there....
