Gold Challenge

Challenge yourself in a combination of Olympic or Paralympic sports, all while raising sponsorship for Breakthrough. There are two challlenges to choose from.

Push yourself and really go the distance in 2012 by taking on the 2012km Challenge. There are three possible levels, depending on how adventurous you're feeling: 2012km, 201.2km or 20.12km.

You or your team must cover your chosen distance in an Olympic sport. Running, walking, swimming and cycling are obvious choices. But what about windsurfing, kayaking or horse riding? See the full list here.

To complete your Olympic Sport Gold Challenge you can choose to test yourself in either 5, 10, 20 or 30 of the Olympic or Paralympic Sports before the end of 2012 and get sponsored to do so.

There are 30 sports to choose from, so why not try something new or do what you love already, e.g. learn how to fence, box, sail or play basketball or push your boundaries with a marathon or triathlon.

Each sport is ‘completed’ by: undertaking a minimum of three hours coaching in that sport - ideal for learning a new sport (or improving your skills) OR completing an endurance event such as a marathon or triathlon.
