2012 - what challenge will you set yourself?

We have teamed up with Gold Challenge to offer you the chance to run in the footsteps of the Olympic athletes!

All you have to do is sign up to the Gold Challenge 2012km challenge and raise as much money for Greenpeace as possible. The person with the highest donation level by 29th February wins the chance to run 100m in the Olympic stadium in front of 20,000 people including your friends, family and of course your favourite environmental organisation!

How can I get involved?

  • Running (jogging, road-running, on a treadmill or on a track)
  • Walking (on a treadmill, on a track, rambling or hillwalking)
  • Cycling (in a gym, on a track, on the roads or off-road) Swimming (in a pool or in open water)

How much do I need to raise?

There’s no set amount, but Gold Challenge suggest minimum fundraising amounts depending on how many sports you select, and whether you take part as an individual or part of a team.
