  2. 100 Streets Challenge

100 Streets Challenge

You can, to a restricted extent, take part in Support in Mind Scotland’s 100 Streets Challenge ® in 2020, subject to Scottish Government and NHS guidelines over the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) situation. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation on a daily basis and will follow any relevant advice and act accordingly. Your public health and safety will always be our first priority, so please adhere strictly to the new advice that has been announced.



We have great news! Our annual Mental Health fundraising and awareness-raising campaign, kindly sponsored this year by sports retailer Decathlon, has been extended for 2020 past its usual end date of World Mental Health Day, 10 October, and will now conclude on St Andrew's Day, 30 November. 

The concept of the 100 Streets Challenge ® is simple. Choose whether you want to walk, run or cycle (or a combination of the three), plan your route, and go! 

Enjoy the benefits of the 100 Streets Challenge

  • This is a great way to improve not only your mental well-being but your physical health.
  • Exercising by running, walking or cycling can help to release those all-important endorphins, relieve stress and clear your head.
  • Free certificate and Decathlon technical 100 Streets T-shirt for all who take part.
  • Bespoke medals for anyone who donates or raises at least £10 for the Challenge.
  • Typically, we find the distance works out between 6 and 9 miles.
  • It’s not a race.  It’s all about having fun and helping yourself to feel well.
  • Taking part is absolutely FREE, but any money you raise through donations and sponsorship will help deliver vital mental health services in Scotland.
  • Don’t be shy! Tell us how you got on: share your efforts, pictures and stories on social media @suppinmindscot, using the hashtag #100StreetsChallenge
  • So get on your trainers or cycling helmet and start your fitness one street at a time.

We have made this poster as a guide to help you have a fun, safe, 100 Streets Challenge:
