Picky July Challenge - Your chance to win a £50 voucher

Picky's July Challenge

Since we are unable to offer our Swim Challenges and Gym Challenges at the moment, we thought we would do something different for the month of July. Choose a distance from the options below and walk, run or cycle the miles to reach your goal. If you want to combine more than one discipline, that's fine too. 

All participants get entered into a drawing for a £50 voucher to Picky just for taking part! 

To be eligible, you must enter your total mileage each week through the form on this page.

Stay Social Online:

Please submit your mileage at the end of each week using the form on this page. Each participant that takes part gets entered into a random drawing with the chance of winning a £50 voucher to Picky. There will be two drawings - one for the Peedie Picky Challenge and another for the Picky Challenge.
