More Sport-a-thon ideas >
Go large and get everyone you know, and some people you don't, to take part in a group sporting activity! Challenge your entire gym, school or office to do a physical activity en masse - like a huge skipping or hula hoop challenge - or organise a massive aerobics class in your town square or shopping centre. Just remember to get them all to pay to play.
Other Ideas: 
  • Organise a quick yoga class for your lunch
    break.
  • Get your friends together to take part in a 24 hour football or netball match, and rotate players to keep it going - just make sure you all get sponsored for your marathon effort.
  • Enter the Hula Hoops Hoopathon, and hula hoop your way into the record books.

Title: 
Alison's Fundraising Feats
Description: 
Sports-mad Alison and three of her colleagues from Warwickshire County Council did four fundraising events at their local gym – and raised a whopping £430 for Sport Relief! That cash could pay for one year’s training which a child living on the streets in Kenya needs to work their way out of poverty once and for all.
