Uploading your result

• The event period for the 2022 virtual Vitality London 10,000 was Saturday 30 April to Sunday 8 May 2022. To everyone who completed their 10K from home, congratulations! You have until the end of May 2022 to upload your result and claim your medal and T-shirt.

The virtual Vitality London 10,000 gives you the chance to run for your head and your heart and celebrate the mental health benefits being active brings, and it gives us a chance to celebrate our participants’ amazing achievements. That’s why our overarching theme is Celebrate You – read all about it on our campaign page.

We send participants a bib number in advance of the virtual event so they can look and feel the part when they choose to run – plus they’ll be rewarded for their efforts with the same finisher’s medal and New Balance technical T-shirt that mass event participants receive.

Participants need to record their 10K and upload their results so we can send them their medals and T-shirts – this is a simple process, which we explain fully in the lead-up to the event.

The virtual Vitality London 10,000 was born back in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic meant we couldn’t stage the event in its usual format. So our participants didn’t miss out, we created the first-ever virtual Vitality London 10,000, which saw nearly 11,000 people run 10K from home or wherever they were during the October half-term break.

It proved to be a great way for people to set themselves a challenge, have fun and get active while enjoying the physical and mental health benefits of running during a difficult time – in fact, it was such a success that we’ve decided to bring it back in 2021, and now 2022!

To see what our participants got up to in 2021, just check out #CelebrateYou and #London10000 on our social media channels – they’re sure to inspire you!
