Trophies
Officially recognising your achievement
The Association holds an annual awards evening combined with its AGM in late January/early February. There are up to 17 trophies available to be awarded, as well as a certificate presented to everyone who completes either a LEJOG or a JOGLE journey. Trophies are awarded for a range of reasons, for example: having completed a wholly exceptional journey, raising the most money for charity, the person who achieves the best performance on foot, the most entertaining story/blog written about the journey, and many more.
All stories of our award winners can be found in our back copies of Quo Vadis? Read more about Quo Vadis? here.
Everyone is welcome at the AGM and awards evening to meet fellow members, old and new friends, and celebrate with a formal dinner.
