2020, eh? There’s a chance you might want to go to sleep and wake up sometime next year. Not on our watch. We want to do something good, something positive something that will make a difference. Something, now!
Welcome to the Hogarth 500!
In November you will be part of a team trying to cumulatively complete 500 miles via running, rowing, walking or cycling. To take part please register at reception or by emailing the gym manager, Vojin at vojin@thehogarth.co.uk
You can enter your own team or join one of our Club captains’ teams as an individual. All we ask is for a contribution towards Sport In Mind charity.
A maximum of 6 per team is permitted (or fewer if you are a sadist, it will be a demanding but doable total). If the challenge itself doesn’t motivate you enough: did someone say prizes…?
That’s correct! The first team to achieve the 500 miles will win a meal and bottle of wine for each team member at The Airedale. The individual who logs the most miles in November will win a much needed massage at The Medispa and the person who raises the most will get a free month’s membership!
If any team adds in a donation of £50 they can pick a future day in the month where their miles will count as double towards their goal. You can almost feel everyone reaching for their wallets.
Whether it is in the gym or outdoors, as long as you show your captain a screenshot of your activity it can be logged towards your total target. We will be keeping a live leader board up on the wall for all to see and chase! As they say, "every little helps", and hopefully you should find you end up doing more than you would have otherwise, so you have boosted your fitness! We can gee each other on, compete with one another as we chase down that target of 500 miles.
This year has more than ever highlighted the link between physical and mental health. Unfortunately most mass participation events have been cancelled, so we thought we need to create something to fill the competitive void. We are keen for it to be something which will help others through fundraising, focus our personal targets and create a community spirit. The Hogarth is nothing if it is not putting the fun in fundraising… (I’ll get my coat)
Sport In Mind is a terrific charity which aims to improve mental health through sport. By delivering physical activity sessions (in partnership with the NHS) they aid recovery, promote mental wellbeing, combat social isolation and empower people to move their lives forward in a positive direction. Recent studies also show exercise can combat depression and anxiety, boost confidence and, of course, release those all important endorphins. As the physical health improves so too can the mental wellbeing. And if it can help others along the way, that’s even better.
Let’s make November one to remember!
