Derwen College to Lapland Virtual Challenge

Can you help us get to Lapland… virtually?

Be part of the team to complete 1,989 miles in 10 days – are you up for the challenge?

Thank you so much for showing interest in our exciting, brand new fundraising event. We are very excited to be journeying to Lapland, let’s hope we can get there in 10 days.

We have linked up with Challenge Hound to bring this event to life. Registration is free, but we ask you to try and raise some sponsorship by telling all your friends and family about this event. Some of your family members may even want to join the challenge too.

Can you cover about 3 – 5 miles a day, for 10 days? If enough of us can do that, we will get to Lapland!  You can walk, run, cycle or swim your way to Lapland. Whichever way you do it, your efforts will help us all get to the finishing line.

Progress so far

We started the Derwen to Lapland Challenge with a series of socially distanced Santa Dashes for our staff, clients and students, on 1st December.  Keep an eye on progress here…

Register

It’s not too late to register! Please contact Anna Evans, Fundraiser on anna.evans@derwen.ac.uk 

The best way to join the event is via a Strava account on your mobile phone. Any walk/run/swim/cycle you do with Strava will be automatically updated to the challenge. Meaning all your hard work is recognised immediately.

Don’t worry if you don’t have Strava, you can also join up via Facebook. But this means you will have to add your daily mileage to the event manually.

If you have any questions about joining, please contact Anna Evans.
