The Accumulator 2026

🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚶‍♀️
Kickstart your new year with purpose, movement, and community!

Wolo’s Accumulator Challenge is back for 2026 — bigger, better, and more inclusive than ever. Whether you're running, walking, swimming, cycling, stepping, or getting creative in your own unique way, this challenge is for everyone.

How the Challenge Works

From 1st–31st January, you complete the number of kilometres that matches the date:
1st January = 1K
2nd January = 2K
3rd January = 3K
… all the way up to 31K on the final day.
That’s a total of 496K in one month.

You can take part solo, as a pair, or as part of a team, sharing out the daily distances however you like.

This is a self-regulated and flexible challenge — the aim is movement and momentum, not perfection. Every ability is welcome and all movement counts.

The Big Give Bonus

Sign up between 2nd–9th December and your £31 donation will be made through The Big Give, meaning it will be doubled to £62 at no extra cost to you.

You’ll also be automatically entered into our prize draw, with fantastic prizes donated by local running and fitness companies.

All Big Give sign-ups receive instructions via email on how to complete their donation when the campaign goes live at midday on 2nd December.

Community Support

Accumulator participants gain access to a vibrant Facebook community group where people share their daily progress, challenges, victories, and creative ways of clocking up their kilometres. It’s a warm, encouraging space that keeps everyone going.

At the end of the challenge, we celebrate together with the Accumulator Party in early February, complete with medals, a raffle, and an evening of connection and achievement.
