Are you tough enough for the Lanrick Challenge?

Lanrick Challenge

People with a sense of adventure are being asked to take on a challenging wilderness Perthshire assault course to help two of the country’s leading life-saving charities.

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) and the Sandpiper Trust will benefit from funds raised at this year’s Lanrick Challenge which is billed as the “ultimate test in strength, endurance and determination”.

Held at the Lanrick Estate near Doune on Saturday August 6, the 48 obstacle challenge is tough but suitable for all fitness levels.

“So walk it, jog it or sprint it – you’ll be helping to sustain two key charities that benefit everyone in Scotland,” said event organiser Penny Dickson

The punishing array of obstacles includes mud ponds, log piles, cargo nets, river crossings, tree climbs, monkey bars and a 30 metre water slide.

Those taking part can choose between the 6k and 12k  routes through the Lanrick Estate and get dirty and exhausted for a good cause.

Youngsters (aged five to 12 years) can take part in the mini mud run and due to the central location eight miles from Stirling, teams from all over Scotland are expected.

Ms Dickson said the event was set up in 2014 by the founders of the Sandpiper Trust and they were proud to be supporting it and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance.

“Championing these two charities means connecting with local Scottish communities and being part of an ongoing commitment to saving lives and delivering emergency medical care by air and over land in Scotland,” she said.

“The challenge is great fun – it pushes people but is very doable and there’s a great sense of achievement at the end. You get dirty, exhausted and sore – but everyone feels great having helped support charities that do so much for the people of Scotland.”

Sally Cameron, head of fundraising with SCAA, is also encouraging people to take part.

“We never fail to be amazed at the wide and varied ways supporters raise funds for the air ambulance,” she said.
