Story
Will you do 11km a day to help more disabled children and adults enjoy the fun, freedom and fitness of adaptive snowsport? From Xiaohaituo to Cairngorm: why shouldn't a wheelchair be on top of a mountain?
While our favourite athletes are competing this year in Beijing for winter sport titles, you can test yourself in a new DSUK Xiaohaituo Mountain Challenge!
What's the Challenge?
Xiaohaituo Mountain is this year's venue for disciplines like Alpine Skiing in winter Olympics and Paralympics. The Xiaohaituo Resort has 11km of slopes and we challenge you to take on that distance every day for 10 days. You can walk, wheel, run, skate, cycle, ski or whatever works for you, reaching the 11km each day! You can do it indoors or outdoors (our recommendation is always the outdoors!), you can also pick a team to do it with you. Whatever you choose, you will be supporting DSUK to remove barriers to adaptive snowsports!
Individual Challenge: 11km daily, whether it's walking, wheeling, cycling or other
Team Challenge: 11km daily, split between the team.
