If you would like to collect the fourth medal you can enter any race distance on any of the Two Tunnels dates to get this.

Can I do it in Two Days?
You can complete a Mini Challenge (5km + 10km + Half), or Challenge (10km + Half + Marathon) by running on just two days. If you are running two events on the same day, collect both numbers at the start of the day for a speedy change over, and collect both medals at the end by showing your two race numbers.
Make sure to check the Provisional Schedules and allow some extra time between races as we would hope by July, August, that our races will look a bit more back to normal and it won't take as long to start each wave of runners.
Can I do it in One Day? Yes!! Only the Mini Challenge, not the full Challenge.

2021 Two Tunnels Trophy
The trophy design remains the same for 2021. We will be adding a line to the top engraving so it will read Two Tunnels Challenge 2020-21.
As the 2020 season was curtailed, we will be using the same design as shown below, but replacing the final 0 with a new 1 design so the medals will spell out 2021 (new picture coming soon).
We have four medals to collect over the 2021 series, each medal is 10cm x 6cm. The whole set comes in at 24cm x 10cm! You can collect one medal from each race. Any distance, on any date, can you the next piece of the medal set. You can even run two events on one day, please check the Provisional Schedule document to see what races and wave combinations will work for you.
