RAISE WHILE YOU TRAIN
The Victoria Marathon is coming up, and we have a challenge for you.
THE CHALLENGE
Over the month of September, challenge yourself and others to complete a biathlon including a 75km walk/run, and 75km biking. If you would like to push yourself more, turn it into a month-long triathlon and try completing 7.5km of swimming.
For an alternative challenge, do a cumulative of 75km over the month. This can include running, biking, walking, swimming, and any other kind of activity that moves your body!
WHY 75
We chose number 75 to represent our 75 Doors campaign. It costs us $2,500 to mentor 1 kid for a year and by opening a door, you create opportunities for new mentorships.
