What is The 2.6 Challenge?
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on UK charities. In a bid to support charities, the organisers of the London Marathon, along with their partners, have launched The 2.6 Challenge to raise millions of pounds to save the UK’s charities.
By getting involved in the 2.6 Challenge, you could help raise vital funds so we can continue supporting families and adults with lower limb conditions. We have never needed your support more than right now, so please join #TeamSteps and the rest of the nation and take on the #TwoPointSixChallenge.
How do I get involved?
All you need to do is dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 that suits your skills and complete it on Sunday April 26 – when the 40th London Marathon would have taken place.
