Travel around the world....

For a second challenge during half term,  students, staff and families of Ruskin are going to see how far they can travel around the World, using purely human power as a team effort in the space of 9 days. 

After the superb success of our Marathon 4 the NHS Challenge, we are hoping that a number of our students will now like to take part in Ruskin’s second challenge. The challenge is to see how far we can travel around the World as a team effort in the space of 9 days. The challenge will be taking place throughout the week that would have been the half term holiday.

The plan is as follows:

Simply this challenge is all about movement. How far can you travel using only human power in the space of 9 days? The event will start on Saturday 23rd May and finish on Sunday 31st May. Participants can select to compete as an individual or work as a household team to reach as big a total as possible. You may choose to walk, run, cycle, skate, as long as the travel is not assisted by a motor or engine it will count towards the total. Please ensure that whatever method of travel is chosen that you remain safe and follow all government guidelines. Please also ensure that any equipment used is in safe, full working order and that you wear all appropriate safety equipment when completing the challenge. Everybody’s miles will be totalled together to give a Ruskin distance, can we reach Hawaii or even circumnavigate the World?

Those entering may wish to do this to raise money for the NHS.  If so please use the following link. This is not compulsory and participants can enter without making any donations.
