12 Days of Christmas Challenge
2019-12-01 08:00 - 2019-12-25 17:00
The 12 Days of Christmas Challenge is back for 2019!
Christmas is fast approaching and with it the many party invitations and distracting opportunities to let your fitness decrease and your waistline increase during the silly season. But fear not, if you need some inspiration, motivation or just some accountability to get you moving this December you can sign up now to the Tri Talking Sport 12 Days of Christmas Challenge.
The concept is a simple one, commit to completing 12 hours of physical activity over the festive period from December 1st– 25th. Ideally this would be one hour of activity per day for 12 days, however, this is more about challenge completion than competition so participants can decide to complete the challenge over a variety of durations from 30 minutes to 2 hour sessions.
Participants can select any form of physical activity of choice; yoga, pilates, running, swimming, cycling, walking, hiking, jogging, gym class or any other activity that gets you moving, puts a smile on your face and gets the blood rushing through your veins. This is a fun challenge to encourage people to get moving over the festive period. With so much going on, as always in the lead up to Christmas, there are plenty of excuses and reasons not to stay motivated to exercise over the next few weeks. This challenge provides the incentive to get an hour of exercise completed on at least 12 days between now and Christmas Day, taking time out to enjoy the session either on your own or with fellow challengers.
The reward for the challenge is in the completion and personal satisfaction, however there will be a number of presents and treats up for grabs from Santa’s Sleigh as an incentive for participants to engage in the challenge fully. Register for the challenge HERE

This is an annual SELL OUT race. Don’t leave it too late to enter
MEDALS: We will have a new medal for 2019.
Run, Jog or Walk (we have a dedicated walking section) but don’t miss out on the Ápres Marathon race of 2019. Annual SELL OUT event. Places are limited. Enter now to avoid disappointment.
