We can finally share the news! Behind the scenes, The Society of Sports Therapists has been proudly supporting BBC Children in Need’s Thousand Mile Challenge — part of the Challenge Yourself campaign helping to Make Life Lighter for children and young people across the UK.
The Thousand Mile Challenge is no ordinary walk. Teams from BBC radio stations nationwide will take on the ultimate test of teamwork — covering a combined 1,000 miles, three-legged! From quick warm-ups to steady strides, it’s a long way from the 50 metres of a school sports day, and every step is helping to raise vital funds.
Our expert members have been working closely with organisers and participants, offering specialist advice on training, recovery, and safe partner coordination. By ensuring everyone is prepared both physically and mentally, we’ve helped to make this uplifting challenge safe, effective, and inspiring.
💛 It’s been hard keeping this under wraps, but we’re thrilled to finally celebrate our role in supporting such an amazing initiative — one that truly embodies the spirit of movement, teamwork, and hope.
