Firstly we would like to thank our first local partners supporting the Race, Boxxfresh and Up and Running.

So, in these strange times we all need to connect, keep doing some exercise and do our bit for others. The US Portsmouth boys are no different and like most rugby players, training by themselves without a ball doesn’t necessarily appeal. So, we thought they could do with a bit of fun and competition to get them motivated. What better way to do it then a great race to New Hampshire, USA against other clubs, teams and groups. 

The challenge, as a team of up to 25 people, can you cover the 3200 miles from Portsmouth, Hampshire, UK to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA in 30 days or less. Can you beat the USP boys in getting to the other side of the Atlantic?

The Basics:

1) Start date will be Friday 1st May and finish date Saturday 30th May.

2) Each member can contribute 60 minutes a day of exercise towards the team’s total distance

3) If members have recorded length of exercise times that are longer then 60 minutes, please adjust their distance covered by estimating their pro rata distance for 60 minutes of their total exercise time for that day.

4) Cycling – 2 miles cycling will count as 1 mile towards the team total to keep a balance between the two modes of exercise.

5) Use our Just Giving Page for donations or set up your own for your own local NHS charity or local healthcare charity, just let us know your fund-raising totals.
