BE PART OF REGAIN’S SNOWDONIA CHARITY CHALLENGE 10TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT. The event gets bigger and better every year as more and more teams return to relive the challenge, improve their time and set new records. And the 2010 celebration event is set to be a record-breaker as teams battle it out in a unique challenge that really does test the best.

The challenge is a triathlon-style event for teams of four who cycle 40 miles, climb Snowdon and canoe a lake course. It is tough but, with training, it is achievable. Some teams will complete the challenge in six hours or less. Most will take much longer. All funds raised support the charity REGAIN, the only organisation dedicated solely to supporting men and women who become tetraplegic (severely paralysed) as the result of a sporting accident including riding, diving, cycling and rugby injuries. Teams’ own skills and fitness levels will play key roles in finding the fastest teams from across the UK. At least one team member must be able to use a map and compass to navigate on the mountain section of the event. In addition to fastest time awards there are awards for the best fundraising team; best team spirit and the golden oldies.
