Achievements
This year we are introducing an achievements table! with both individual and team awards you can reach the top of the table in the following leader boards:
Number of activities completed – the amount of run, walk, swim or cycle activities completed throughout the whole of move 4 MS
Total distance covered – the total distance covered in all activities – to make this challenge as accessible to everyone as possible, running and walking will have a 2x multiplier and swimming will have a 5x multiplier for the achievemnet totals. The multiplier does not change the distance towards the 150,000km total.
Total money fundraised – Although fundraising is not a requirement for Move 4 MS, we want to celebrate those that do! You can set up your enthuse page and fundraise for the whole of your Move 4 MS journey in January!

2024 RECAP
In 2024 we reached 96% of our 130,00km target and with your help we are looking to smash our new target of 150,000km in 2025!
In the first week of January, 186 people were moving to help reach our target, and things did not slow down as the weeks progressed. By the end of January we had 355 participants helping us strive towards the goal.
Avid Sport put in a brilliant team performance covering the most distance as a group of 9,466km. An honourable mention to Uni of Bath in second covering 7099km!
Let us share your journey this year by sending us pictures and making your Strava account public.
