X10 2027 — Gift Entry
Give Someone a Reason to Keep Showing Up
5K or 10K. Ten times. One year.
Give someone a whole year of running, walking and something to look forward to each month.
X10 2027 is a worldwide monthly running and walking challenge built around one simple idea:
Keep showing up.
The person receiving your gift chooses 5K or 10K and completes their distance ten times across 2027.
They can walk, jog, run or race. Take part with friends or complete it alone.
No personal pace targets. No requirement to get faster.
Just a shared worldwide challenge and a reason to keep moving throughout the year.
Choose the complete X10 experience on its own, or include an official earned finisher’s T-shirt.
You buy the gift.
They keep showing up.

🎁 How Gift Entry Works
1. Buy the Gift
Choose standard X10 2027 Gift Entry or Gift Entry + Earned T-shirt.
You’re buying the challenge for someone else, not registering yourself as a participant.
2. Receive Your Gift Code
After purchase, you’ll receive a unique, single-use X10 2027 gift code by email.
Gift codes are issued manually following purchase.
You can pass the code to the recipient whenever you’re ready.
3. They Redeem Their Entry
The recipient uses their gift code to register for X10 2027.
They enter using their own name, email address and details, choose their 5K or 10K edition and accept the participation terms themselves.
There is nothing further to pay for the gifted entry or the T-shirt entitlement, where included.
Gift Entry is a one-off purchase, with no subscription or automatic renewal.
4. Their X10 Year Begins
Once registered, the challenge belongs entirely to them.
Their chosen distance.
Their monthly runs or walks.
Their completion record.
Their year.
What Are You Actually Giving Them?
X10 is a worldwide running and walking challenge built around returning to the same distance throughout the year.
The recipient chooses one of two editions.
X10 5K
Complete ten 5K runs or walks across 2027.
X10 10K
Complete ten 10K runs or walks across 2027.
Both follow the same official monthly calendar and completion rules.
You can walk.
You can race.
You can complete it with friends.
You can do it alone.
You can be fast.
You can be slow.
You can get faster.
You can get slower.
There’s no minimum pace and no requirement to improve.
X10 isn’t about one heroic effort.
It’s about showing up across the year.
📅 Twelve Weekends. Complete Ten.
X10 takes place during the first Friday–Sunday weekend of every month in 2027.
Runners and walkers around the world take on their chosen distance during the same official weekend.
The recipient has twelve opportunities to complete ten.
The X10 2027 Calendar
| Month | Official X10 Weekend |
|---|---|
| January | 1–3 January |
| February | 5–7 February |
| March | 5–7 March |
| April | 2–4 April |
| May | 7–9 May |
| June | 4–6 June |
| July | 2–4 July |
| August | 6–8 August |
| September | 3–5 September |
| October | 1–3 October |
| November | 5–7 November |
| December | 3–5 December |
Each month, the recipient completes their chosen 5K or 10K at any time during the official Friday-to-Sunday window.
There is no fixed route, venue or mass start.
First X10 Weekend: 1–3 January 2027.
Twelve opportunities. Ten completions. One year.
⚡ One Freedom Run/Walk
Life doesn’t always fit neatly into a monthly calendar.
That’s why every X10 entrant receives one Freedom Run/Walk.
This allows one of their ten qualifying runs or walks to take place outside an official X10 Weekend.
It provides flexibility around:
- Work and shift patterns
- Holidays and travel
- Family commitments
- Existing races
- Illness or injury
- Other plans
With twelve official weekends available, the recipient can miss two and still complete ten without using their Freedom Run/Walk.
The Freedom Run/Walk provides an additional way to complete one of their ten qualifying activities if an official weekend doesn’t work out.
For example, they could complete nine official X10 Weekends and use their Freedom Run/Walk for the tenth qualifying completion.
The Freedom Run/Walk must take place during the 2027 challenge year and satisfy the normal X10 distance and evidence requirements.
The calendar gives them a routine. The Freedom Run/Walk gives them room for real life.
🏃 No Pace Targets. Just Keep Showing Up.
X10 is deliberately different from Race The Machine’s personalised performance challenge.
There is no Machine-issued time to beat.
No adaptive pace target.
No penalty for being slower than last month.
The recipient simply returns to their chosen distance throughout the year.
Some months might be faster.
Some might be slower.
They might race one month and walk the next.
All of those approaches count, provided they complete their chosen distance within the qualifying rules.
X10 recognises commitment rather than speed.
The challenge isn’t how fast they can do it.
It’s whether they keep coming back.
📊 Their Year. Their Results. Their Progress.
After each qualifying X10 run or walk, the recipient submits their activity using the online result form.
Their evidence should show the activity date, distance completed and elapsed time.
A running-app screenshot, running-watch activity, treadmill display or eligible official event result can be used.
Their completion is recorded and their personal X10 record develops across the year.
The worldwide results table brings together entrants completing X10 from different locations and countries.
A runner completing 5K in Scotland.
A walker taking on 10K in Australia.
Someone racing their distance in Canada.
Different speeds.
Different routes.
The same commitment to keep showing up.
Every qualifying completion brings the recipient one step closer to finishing X10 2027.
And once they’ve finished one month, the next X10 Weekend is waiting.
🏆 Ten Completions. One Achievement.
X10 has one central completion milestone.
10/10 — X10 2027 Completed
Complete ten qualifying runs or walks at the recipient’s chosen distance.
That’s it.
They don’t need to complete every official weekend.
They don’t need to run personal bests.
They don’t need to achieve a particular finishing time.
They simply need to complete their chosen distance ten times under the X10 rules.
Once they reach ten, they earn official X10 2027 completion status.
And if their gift includes the earned finisher’s T-shirt, they’ve unlocked that too.
Choose the distance. Complete ten. Finish X10 2027.
👕 Earned Finisher’s T-shirt
Some gifts are enjoyed the moment they’re opened.
Others become more meaningful because of what someone does with them.
Choose the £59 Gift Entry + Earned T-shirt and you’re giving someone a reward that they must earn through their own participation.
The official X10 2027 finisher’s T-shirt is made from organic cotton and designed to be worn beyond running — not simply another technical race T-shirt for the drawer.
How They Earn It
Complete ten qualifying X10 runs or walks during 2027.
Once qualified, the recipient can choose their preferred size.
Their T-shirt is then arranged for fulfilment, with worldwide delivery already included in the gift price.
The T-shirt is not dispatched when the gift is purchased or when the recipient registers.
It’s waiting at the end of their X10 challenge.
Reserve it. Complete ten. Earn it. Wear it.
🌍 A Gift They Can Use Anywhere
X10 has no fixed start line.
The recipient can take part from Scotland, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands or almost anywhere else in the world.
They can complete their chosen 5K or 10K on:
- Roads and local streets
- Trails and park paths
- Running tracks
- Treadmills
- Suitable organised races
- parkrun, where the distance matches
They can run alone, walk with friends, join their running club or incorporate X10 into activities they’re already planning.
There is no compulsory journey to a venue.
No requirement to travel to a special race.
And no requirement to compete against anyone else’s pace.
The route is theirs. The weekend is shared.
Give Them Something That Lasts All Year
A new pair of running socks might be worn out by spring.
A race entry might be over in an hour.
X10 gives someone a reason to keep coming back throughout an entire year.
January arrives.
They choose their route.
They complete their distance.
They record their result.
And the next month, they do it again.
Not every month will be easy.
Not every run will be fast.
But each completed month becomes part of something larger.
By the end of 2027, they’ll have a record of ten runs or walks that happened because they kept showing up.
That’s the gift.
5K or 10K. Ten times. One year.
X10 2027.
#KeepChasing
