The BRIT Challenge officially starts on 1 February and will end on 3 March 2022. In that time, our goal is to complete 2022 miles collectively, while raising funds for the British Inspiration Trust (BRIT) and the student mental health charities they support. So grab some mates, get out there and clock those miles!
A running total of the overall miles and fundraising will be added to our BRIT Challenge webpage, along with any special events happening throughout the challenge.
3 March is also Student Mental Health Day, so it’s the perfect time to end the challenge and signpost support services on campus.
How to get involved
You can run, walk, jog, cycle, swim or even walk on your hands to help us reach our 2022 mile target. We’re aiming to raise vital funds for mental health charities across the country.
Clocking your miles
You can clock all the miles you do by:
- Using dedicated gym equipment at the Sports Centre on the Canterbury campus
- Tracking your miles on a smart watch / app and providing this to our gym staff
- Joining our Power Hour challenge (see below) either individually or as part of a team.
Donating
You can donate to the challenge by visiting the JustGiving link on the British Inspiration Trust (BRIT) Challenge website.
