What is Gold Challenge? 

The Gold Challenge is your chance to test yourself in up to 30 official Olympic and Paralympic sports while helping to raise money for HemiHelp in the run up to London 2012. This unique and exciting charity challenge gives you the opportunity to take on the Olympic and Paralympic sports you will see at the 2012 Games. From hockey to equestrian and archery to wheechair football, there's something for everyone!

The Challenges 

• Alternatively you can take on the 2012km Challenge and cover either 2012 km, 201.2 km or 20.12 km – aiming to go the distance before the games begin next summer. You can run, walk, swim, cycle, horse ride, canoe, kayak, row or sail the distance! Then you decide your target and as you complete your sport you receive points towards your Gold Challenge.

• You can choose to take part in either the Olympic or Paralympic Sports Challenge, as an individual or as a team of up to 30 people. For each sport you can choose either to undertake three hours coaching (ideal for learning a new sport), compete in an affiliated tournament or complete an endurance event.

• Gold Challenge In a Day is a fantastic challenge for keen gym goers, regular runners, swimmers, cyclists or triathletes. It's a great way to test your fitness or push yourself to the next level. You just take part in five sports and challenge yourself to complete them in one day. You can choose from three different distances depending on how brave you're feeling and take part as a team or an individual!

• Youth and Family Gold Challenge is a great way for families and schools to feel part of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics!
