THE BILLION METRE CHALLENGE
What is the Billion Metre Challenge
The aim of The Billion Metre Challenge is to encourage people to be more active and get them involved in individual challenges so that as a team we work towards covering One Billion Metres!
We will achieve this through several challenges of 1 million Metres each (1000km). The first challenge will be London to Geneva!
The funds raised from the challenges will go to charity and we are keen to have other charities on board for future challenges.
