April Challenge 2024
A fantastic effort this year, with 96 members & guests running, walking, cycling & swimming for a total of 18419.3 Kms during the month of April (the equivalent of London to somewhere past Auckland, NZ!)
There are no prizes and everyone is a winner in this – particularly the chosen charities of the 14 South East Clubs that took part, with £5000 being shared out to those clubs. The fin al totals are in the table below – with a special “well done” to Southampton leading the way with a total of 6229.2 Kms from their 28 participants
Individually, I will just mention a few noteworthy efforts. Teresa Bourne from Sittingbourne totalled 619 Kms – boosted by 73.8 swimming, well done Teresa. 11 year old Alice from Bexhill managed 453.5 Kms whilst doing school sports and then walking dogs & horses! Mick Allen from Brighton topped the lot (again) on foot with 461.4 Kms, Colin Castle (Tonbridge) included 42.2 Kms of his total by running the London Marathon…..and Gordon Cheeseman representing Southampton did 318 on foot & 834 on a bike, mostly on a walking/cycling holiday in Colombia!
…….but again, you are all winners and well done to everyone who took part.
We at the South East HASSRA Board of Management will always be pleased to hear how you undertook this challenge, where you did it, anything unusual whilst doing it ….and also a bit about the charity your club are supporting. So please do drop me a line and it may appear in a future edition of SEView as an inspiration to others to get out there and get active
To those 14 clubs that took part, we will be in touch shortly with your final amount for your charity and to arrange payment. Meanwhile, please ensure that your Treasurer/Chair have submitted the 2023 accounts and that the club has decided on a local charity to support.
Finally, please watch out for the annual South East Running Competition in October. Prizes are up for grabs but you do “have to be in it to win it”! ….and don’t be put off by the “running” as last year 2 of the prizes went to walkers! Watch this space for details later in the year.
