Story

Festive 5x5 is back wrap up, lace up!

Sign up to the Festive 5 x 5 Challenge this Christmas and raise money for Cavendish Cancer Care. The Festive 5 x 5 Challenge is the perfect way to work off those much loved mince pies and tremendous turkey. Its perfect for walkers and runners alike, you dont have to be a marathon finisher or a regular hiker to take part. There are three levels and you can pick which challenge suits you.

Kicking off on Boxing Day youll have all the Christmas and New Year period to get involved.

Festive 5 x 5, 2 weeks : You have 2 weeks to complete 5 x 5ks. You can complete the 5ks any time throughout your chosen fortnight, just draft up your walking or running schedule and get going!

Festive 5 x 5, 1 week : You have 1 week to complete 5 x 5ks. Once again, its up to you how you spread these out within the week - what about Monday to Friday so you have the weekend off? Be sure to complete your 5ks within 7 days!

Festive 5 x 5, 1 day : You have only 24 hours to complete 5 x 5ks! Run or walk your 25k in 1 day. Make sure you factor in some rest time, take some festive snacks with you to keep your energy up!

The Festive 5 x 5 Challenge will be running from Boxing Day until 9th January. Well be here to support you and cheer you on as you do your 2 week, 1 week, or 1 day stint. Keep an eye on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where well be promoting a variety of easy to challenging routes to inspire you. You can complete your own well-known trail or explore somewhere new.

Theres no booking fee to take part, all we ask is that you rally the support of your friends and family by asking for a donation in sponsorship. Every penny you raise will help us enormously as we continue to support those who have been affected by cancer.

£55 will cover the cost of 2 hours of professional therapy for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer, or caring for someone with the disease, raise this amount and you will be providing care to someone who needs it the most right now.

Thank you SO much for your participation and support!
