WHAT IS THE BATTLE CANCER CHALLENGE?
about the challenge
The Battle Cancer Challenge is a strength and fitness endurance challenge made up of nine fitness stations. The goal is to complete all nine fitness stations as quickly as possible, and can be completed as a team of four, team of two, or individually. Most teams and individuals complete the challenge in around 60 minutes.
On signing up, each team will pledge to fundraise a minimum of 200€ for their chosen cancer charity. Some teams beat this target, raising thousands for charity and changing lives with fitness. Here’s the difference! Every 25€ raised by your team will reduce the physical challenge by 1 rep, shortening your challenge and giving you an advantage for a faster time.
Together, we can change lives through fitness.
