Club Doncaster Foundation host virtual Team Trail Challenge following the postponement of the Doncaster Half Marathon

Club Doncaster Foundation are excited to announce the launch of the virtual Team Trail Challenge, taking place over the next 4 weeks, to help raise vital funds for our projects.

Following the postponement of the Doncaster Half Marathon, we want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to get outside and get active and continue to support the community in getting Doncaster moving. 

The challenge is to complete a total distance of 13.1km within 4 weeks, by 23rd July. This can be completed individually, with friends, family or colleagues. That’s just 0.48km per day, or even less if completed within a group, all while raising money for the Foundation. 

You can team up with up to 4 friends, plan your ‘virtual’ routes and then walk, run or jog your way to 13.1km! Every step helps!

All the kilometres completed at the end of the 4 weeks, will be added up at the end, to see how far across the world, we could have travelled. 

There are a number of prizes available to be won, for anyone taking part in the challenge, including a free 1 month gym pass for the Foundation Fitness gym, based at the Eco-Power Stadium (prizes are subject to a minimum raised amount of £10 per person).

If you don’t want to take part in the challenge, you can still support us. Staff from the Foundation are also completing the Team Trail challenge and would appreciate the support to spur them on! You can donate here: https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/mypage/virtualdoncasterhalfmaratt 

Speaking of the Team Trail Challenge, CEO John Davis said: “We were due to be the headline charity partner for this year’s Curly’s Athletes Doncaster Half Marathon, so we were sad to hear about the postponement of this year’s event. 

“After the news, we knew we wanted to still offer something to the people of Doncaster, to help them keep active this summer. 

“We hope that as many people as possible will get on board with our Team Trail Challenge, in completing their own virtual half marathon over the next 4 weeks, while helping us raise vital funds for Club Doncaster Foundation.

“Good luck to everyone getting involved.”

All donations, go towards helping us continue our vital work within the community, to support Doncaster to become a healthier, better connected, inclusive City.
