There’s a moment at the end of every challenge where it suddenly feels real. It doesn’t matter whether you ran the whole distance in one go… Split it over a few weeks… Walked most of it… Or squeezed miles in whenever life gave you the chance. Eventually, you hit the number. You’ve finished. The Final Stretch always feels different. You know the finish is close, and suddenly that challenge you signed up for weeks earlier is right there in front of you. For some people it’s a l

The Warrior 21K took weeks of sketches, late night messages, stress over costs, and more revisions than we expected, before it finally became real. Like every medal at Walk Run Wrestle, it started as rough ideas. Bad sketches. Shapes that didn’t work. Colour combinations that looked good in our heads but not on screen. Most ideas never make it past that stage, and honestly, that’s how it should be. We’d rather scrap ten ideas than settle for something that just feels “fine”.

When you sign up to a Walk Run Wrestle challenge, you’re not just buying a medal. You’re stepping into something built with purpose — something designed for wrestling fans, with wrestling energy. Everything we do comes back to one idea: Giving wrestling fans a chance to get out there and earn something that means something to them. That starts with the medal. Every WRW medal is designed to be a proper collectible. With a real life wrestler, or wrestling event at the heart o

With the launch of Walk Run Wrestle behind us, our focus now shifts to what comes next — and this is where things really start to build. Season 1 begins with the Rattlesnake 10K, the first challenge in our Legends Series. From there, five more challenges will follow, each inspired by an iconic wrestler. Different styles, different vibes, but all built around the same idea — your run, your way. At the same time, we’re building something bigger alongside it. The Main Event Ser

In March 2026, after years of planning, learning, rebuilding, and figuring things out the hard way, we finally launched Walk Run Wrestle. By the time we went live, everything was ready. The medals were in hand — real, heavy, exactly how we imagined back in 2017. Not mock-ups. Not ideas. Real products. Becca and I sat down with a coffee, staring at the screen. We’d checked everything more times than we can count — the website, the apps, the checkout, the emails… all of it. The

Building Walk Run Wrestle wasn’t smooth — far from it. In fact, most of what we’ve learned has come from getting things wrong. The first big mistake was the website. We spent hours building it, tweaking sections, choosing colours, getting everything in place. Then we sat back, looked at it, and instantly knew: this is wrong. It was brighter, more playful, and it just didn’t feel like us. It looked like a template, not a brand. So we scrapped it completely. Starting again di

After finalising the medals, the next step was bringing the rest of Walk Run Wrestle to life — starting with the logo, colour scheme, and website. Our first attempt at the website was Phase One. We built everything ourselves, but quickly realised it wasn’t right, so we deleted it and started again. Neither of us had much experience with website building — we spent hours Googling, learning as we went, experimenting. We used Wix for the site, and it took weeks. Both of us work

One of the hardest parts of bringing Walk Run Wrestle back to life was finding the right medal supplier. It took us about five weeks of searching, messaging, and emailing before we finally found the perfect fit. We started with UK suppliers, but nothing worked. Some simply couldn’t make what we wanted, while others were completely out of budget — one even quoted £20,000 for 100 medals. It was frustrating, but we knew compromising wasn’t an option. From the start, we had clea

After years apart from the project, WRW came back to life in November 2025. Bex and I had been watching wrestling separately, but one night we started watching together again. That familiar mix of passion for wrestling and running sparked the idea once more — and we realised the gap in the market was still there. This time, we were fully committed. No casual attempts. We were ready to invest the time, energy, and resources to make it work properly. We jumped straight into act

Walk Run Wrestle actually started back in 2017. At the time, Bex and I were doing Couch to 5K, and of course, we were both huge WWE fans. We even tried a virtual run ourselves, but we quickly realised there was nothing out there that combined the two things we loved — running and wrestling. That’s when the idea hit: why not make a challenge that mixes both passions and comes with medals that actually feel connected to wrestling? We wanted something virtual, because life was b
