This challenge starts on Saturday 17th August when the Gravitas Leeds team will be taking on the challenge of walking the 3 peaks of the Yorkshire Dales - Penyghent, Whernside and Ingleborough! The walk is 26 miles in length with an elevation gain of over 1000m - the aim is to finish it within 12 hours!!

From there we have one of our team running the New Forest Marathon on the 8th September, taking in a blend of forest enclosures, open roads, far reaching views and of course the New Forest ponies to help her on her way!!  She is aiming to finish in 4 hours 30 minutes!!

Then finally on Sunday 20th October we have another team who will be running the Yorkshire Marathon.  The course takes in the splendour of historic York and surrounding countryside and will be the finale to the 3 marathon challenge that we have set ourselves this year!!

Why why why are we doing this??  It is a known fact that people who exercise regularly tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well being; exercise can also have a profoundly positive impact on your mental health!  Working in a pressured industry like recruitment it is critical that we look after our mental well-being as this makes up 80% of whether we are successful!  

We want to be proactive in order to support ourselves and our colleagues, whilst also raising awareness and money to help others!!  Please give generously as these challenges will not be easy!!  Photographic evidence will be provided!!
