End to End challenge - Is it worth it?

[xsquared]

Has anyone done this before?

I think I can cover the 874 miles in a year and I've never entered into any sort of running event or challenge, so this might be a good start for me.

How does it work? I'd like to run for a cause like Mind charity, so would I be able to set something up while doing the challenge?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I have decided to do Red January and have already made a start with a new year's day hike. I will be going for a tired run later on when we arrive home from our time away.

I've also signed up to do a 10 mile trail run in May which I'm looking forward to as I mostly run on roads. This has given me motivation to explore parts of the route a little at a time when I go for my weekly long runs, as well as an excuse to nuy new running shoes for trail.
