Our friends at Curly's have a new event on the calendar...The Viking Move Your Way event on Saturday 27th June!
This inclusive event is being built for people with long term health conditions to join in and challenge themselves.
There’s no set distance to complete. You can choose to do 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 kilometres — and you can decide on the day what feels right. Change your mind halfway? That’s absolutely fine too. Walk, run, wheel, participate however you need. Curlys are open to suggestions for how best to design this event.
The event won't be timed but there will be a special Viking themed medal for participants 🏅

Welcome to the Viking 1,2,3,4,5k - Move your Way !
We can't tell you how excited we are to tell you about this brand new event. Inspired by so many of our athletes across our community who live with long term health conditions, and who have already achieved so many amazing accomplishments - we have listened (and will continue listening) -and we have created an event for people living with long term health conditions or facing barriers to getting active.
And we want to welcome everyone to join us on 27th June 2026 (yes, its a Saturday), for a fun day and for you to achieve your own personal goal!
It is a privilege to be working with the team from West Lindsey District Council, who are as passionate as we are to support this event and have it benefit some of the estimated 67% of their residents who have at least one long term health condition.
There is no set distance to complete - you choose 1,2,3,4,or 5 kilometers, and you can wheel it, walk it, jog it, run it, take breaks, go at your own pace and enjoy it. You can decide your distance on the day during the event - its entirely your choice :)
The route starts and finishes in Gainsborough from The Venue at the Roses Sports Ground and then we are out and back on the riverside path along the Trent.
At the finish we will have a special treat and an awesome Viking themed medal waiting for you!
We hope that you are as excited about this event as we are - we want to say to everyone who has thought that an ‘event’ is not for me - that ‘it is’ and we will be so happy to see you there!

Curly’s work on a principle of ‘Be Better, Not Perfect’ in everything we do… this keeps us moving forward but we are not afraid that things aren’t 100%.... they are always 100% fun (obs!) We have been personally inspired by amazing people taking part in our events with long term health conditions, so we thought we can do things better, we can focus, learn and see how we can make active events better for everyone.
So it may not be perfect... but we will do our very best together to create something awesome!
