What is the “Move The Calderdale Way Challenge”?
This is a project being run by Active Calderdale with a vision is to be the most active Borough in the North with a mission to help people live a larger life through physical activity.
They see the Calderdale Voluntary and Community Sector as a key partner in helping to create a physically active culture in Calderdale, bringing all of the benefits a more active lifestyle can have to our local communities.
Given the impact that COVID-19 has had on the Voluntary and Community Sector, Active Calderdale has committed to developing a fundraising challenge that will centre around physical activity and offer funds for local organisations who take part.
Move The Calderdale Way is a virtual team challenge that will take place from 1st – 30th September 2020. Each team will aim to collectively walk, run, cycle or move a total of 50 miles; the equivalent distance of the actual Calderdale Way footpath that encircles the borough.
For each team member actively participating in the challenge, Active Calderdale will donate £20 to the organisation. An example for a 25 person team would be a total donation of £500.
The contribution from Active Calderdale will be made at the end of the challenge after the final team miles are submitted.
If taking part in the Move The Calderdale Way challenge, organisations are also permitted to increase fundraising via other sources e.g. Just Giving or GoFundMe.
Who can take part in the Move The Calderdale Way Challenge?
This challenge is for everyone. It’s not about pushing individuals past their limits. Far from it. It is about harnessing team spirit through activity and creating a support network of individuals who are taking on this challenge for an organisation that they all have in common.
The Move The Calderdale Way challenge is about how you work as a team to encourage and support each other to contribute as much as each individual can manage. The challenge may be 50 miles but if Move The Calderdale Way has sparked something within your team and you reach the target with days or weeks left of the challenge, keep going! With support from their teammates, individuals may find that they can go further than they ever thought they could. Who knows, by the end of September your team could have moved the equivalent of the Calderdale Way footpath several times over!
Most importantly, however far your team gets, they have achieved something that they can be really proud of for a cause close to their heart.
