uk challenge
For over three decades, the UK Challenge has been providing companies with an unparalleled team-building experience. Combining both mental and physical challenge, they offer an opportunity for all individuals to uncover their strengths and add value to their team.
In 2023 the UK Challenge will take place on the Peak Districk from the 20th to the 23th of June. Our 10 teams of six will be running, cycling, and kayaking over some of the most beautiful, yet challenging, terrain in the Peak District. Over 3 days we will be taking on 8 stages, expertly designed to challenge our team cognitively and physically. Our strategy will decide which routes to take, which obstacles to face, and how best to utilise our team to ensure an efficient completion of each mission.
Your place in the team is funded by the charity including, accommodation and food.
All we ask is that the team members fundraise.
We can help you with fundraising.
