Pow Virtual Running

They have different events each month and medals to match the events.... A run on May 4th gets you a Star Wars like medal. Most of them are £10 to enter and each one is for a different charity. Has anyone seen or heard of this and taken part? What are people's views on it? Thanks Churchy

I don't understand the attraction, but I'm guessing it's more for people that don't want to or can't do a regular race?
