“We aim to bring local businesses together for a friendly competition to have fun and raise lots of money for BBC Children In Need,” they say.
The challenge is a fast and furious mini indoor triathlon. Each member of your team will be required to either run on the indoor treadmill, cycle on the gym bike or swim in the Menzies indoor pool for ten short but agonising minutes.
Each team member will be required to ‘dig deep’ and produce the maximum effort that they can on each of the disciplines and their distances will be totalled to decide the overall winning team.
At the official closing ceremony a ‘special guest’ will present prizes and medals to the team which totals the longest distance, the team with the most original team name and, of course, the best dressed team!
To cheer your teams on during their ‘ten minutes of hell’ the organisers are encouraging spectators to attend to help keep the ‘athletes’ fired up. And as well as the races themselves there will be a few side shows and plenty of refreshments to keep everyone entertained and to raise even more money for Children in Need.
The event will be publicised through local press and media and there are event sponsorship opportunities for companies who want to support the event.
The entry fee is £150 per team, which includes all refreshments for your team and prize medals. As an added incentive and to help your team to train for the big day, all team members will get a four-week** member's pass for the ‘Menzies Waves Health and Leisure Club’ – for free!
This event is all about supporting ‘Children in Need’ so all funds raised through the event will be donated to the charity. "We want those taking part in the challenge to actively raise funds and have lots of fun!"
