Cumbrian Challenge 2021
They came, they saw, they conquered the peaks and themselves for Walking With The Wounded.
Ex-military beneficiaries from
Walking With The Wounded's programmes across the United Kingdom took part
shoulder to shoulder with 600+ fundraisers at our eighth Cumbrian
Challenge.
Each team is challenged to fundraise
£2k to support a veteran back into society and this year’s event has raised
more than £200,000 for the charity and we’ve now seen over 1,000 teams take
part during the history of the event. This year participants took part in one
of three routes alongside teams of our beneficiaries - the Peak (10km), the
Tough (22km) or the Tougher (32km) - with the latter featuring nine summits
before the finish.
Rhodar Rovers stormed home in first
place on the Peak Route, in a time of 03:38:29, a good 3 minutes clear of 2nd
place. Over on the Tough Route, the Army Physios brought home first place on
6:28:14, run very close by our Tougher winners – FDM – Manic Feet Creatures who
romped home in 6:31:12, defending their 2019 crown. Most significantly, Yodel won
the highest fundraising team award, with Simon Hume from Yodel leading by
example with the highest Individual total.
There were multiple teams from our
event sponsors FDM, BAE All Together Cumbria, Amazon, Aegis, Gasway, Sunbelt
& Morson who were showing their support in the best way possible by putting
their feet forward on the peaks. We also had significant numbers once more from
long-standing supporters such as Birketts, Shard Capital, Yodel, DXC &
Trility. We were also honoured to be joined by 9 military teams, including
teams from the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, Army Physios and RAF Honington. We
were also joined by 3 police teams and many, many others - who are all featured
on our event fundraising leaderboard.
On Friday night, safety briefings
teams heard from our Chief Executive Fergus Williams, who talked about the work
of Walking With The Wounded and the impact the fundraising from the event would
have. Fergus also introduced our Walk of Oman team, who have seen their
challenge reimagined for the UK this year and will be conquering their event
from October 10th – October 21st www.walkofoman.co.uk And the beneficiary
teams taking part wore blue t-shirts to mark them out for conversation with
fundraisers. Our Volunteer teams also came from far and wide to help make the
event a success and we could not run the challenge without them.
Our teams braved some pretty shocking
weather, with visibility on the peaks down to 30 feet, wind speeds of up to 30mph
and temperatures down to 5 degrees Celsius. Despite this, our teams enjoyed the
event and there were some great stories from the day including a day from the
Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment who truly embraced the spirit of the Cumbrian Challenge, adopting a walker who became separated from their team.
If you’re inspired to take part, or
walked the event and want to come back for more, or looking for a way for your
company to showcase its commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant, then, please
register your interest here and we'll be in
touch when entries open.
Many thanks to everyone who took
part, everyone who donated to them and the volunteers who gave up their
weekends to make it happen.
