York Against Cancer 50k challenge!
Scientists at the University of Yorks Jack Birch Unit are inviting the City of York to go outside and commit to getting fit and healthy. Join us in 2021 for our 50k challenge!
We are a group of cancer research scientists who feel passionate about healthy living and the positive effects of exercise on our mental and physical health. We are challenging you to raise money for York Against Cancer and log a 50k distance in a 10-day period. You can run, walk your dog, carry your toddler on your back, dress up however you like, as long as you dont use wheels to go the distance unless, of course, you use a wheelchair or walk using a mobility assistance device.
