Gold Challenge

Gold Challenge - your schools' chance to compete in the Olympic Stadium and help London 2012 prepare for the greatest show on earth

Gold Challenge is offering the chance of a lifetime for schools to take part in a key test event at the Olympic Stadium. On the 1st April 2012, thousands of young people will have the opportunity to take part in 100m races and the Gold Challenge Stadium Parade in front of a crowd of 20,000.

Gold Challenge is the UK's first Olympic and Paralympic sport based charity challenge and is part of the mass participation legacy programme for London 2012.

Schools can take part in the 2012km Challenge, accumulating the distance by running, swimming, cycling, walking and more whilst achieving something amazing for their chosen charity. It is simple to organise and manage and Gold Challenge will do all of the administration for them.

The challenge is free to enter and is open to everyone aged five and over.

What's more for every 100 pupils your school signs up before 30th November selecting your charity from over 150 charity partners, guarantees you five places in the amazing Gold Challenge event in the Olympic Stadium on 1st April 2012.

Schools will get the chance to take part in the Gold Challenge Stadium Parade along with Team GB Legends and celebrity ambassadors.
