The CLAN 123 Fitness Challenge

CLAN would like to challenge you to become

FIT FOR…. LIFE

Everyone can take part in CLAN’s 123 Fitness Challenge whatever age* or fitness level.

Choose whether you would like to take part as an individual or as a team. Then choose you or your teams fitness level, enrol and just get up and get moving! It doesn’t matter what exercise you take part in so long as you can measure it in terms of distance, then complete the challenge by covering the distance within the specified time limit. The easiest exercises are walking, cycling and running but you can also combine these; swimming, rollerblading and skiing are just as suitable.

The distances are based on the effort required for walking or running, to do the equivalent by cycling multiply the distance by 4 and for swimming divide the distance by 6.

 Once you’ve completed one level then enrol again for the next! You can enter any time between early 2009 and 31st December 2010.

 Each entrant will be sent information on the challenge and references to other sources of information, a schedule to record distance together with a CLAN 1, 2, 3 T-shirt. On completion of the challenge each entrant will receive a completion certificate. A proportion of each entry fee goes directly to the CLAN 123 Campaign but participants are also encouraged to gain sponsorship.

 * children under the age of 17 will not be able to enter the level 5 challenges

Entry costs are £10 (online) for an individual, £25 (online) for a team of 3, with a Levy of £1 and £2 respectively for postal entries (to cover additional administration and postage charges).
