County Durham Sport Team Progress on the London 2012 Inspired Gold Challenge

Gold Challenge

You may remember that in October the County Durham Sport Core Team (aka the County Durham Dynamos) had signed up to take part in the London 2012 inspired Gold Challenge. The challenge sees the Core Team attempt to complete a total of 2012 km between now and the start of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games in July using a variety of activities including running, walking, cycling and swimming. The Team have so far made great progress against its target completing a total of 1036 km with Andrew topping the individual charts following the purchase of his new bike leaving the rest of us in his wake, more runs and walks required by the rest of the Team in the New Year!!!

Gold Challenge is the UK's first Olympic & Paralympic sport based charity challenge. Working in partnership with the British Olympic Association, Sport England and Paralympics GB it forms part of the official mass participation legacy programme for London 2012. A specific corporate offering has been designed to encourage employee engagement, team building and fundraising for our charity partners. Gold Challenge gives you the opportunity to run an employee engagement programme that is directly linked with the London Olympic and Paralympic Games. Each programme can be tailored to fit their internal culture and employee engagement goals. Gold Challenge can inspire each of your employees to create their own personal challenge and then support them in making it a reality.
