Support the Charity in the 2.6 Challenge

The 2.6 Challenge, set up to support thousands of UK charities, will launch this Sunday – which should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon, the world’s biggest one-day annual fundraising event, which usually raises thousands of pounds for the charity.

We’re asking you to take part in an activity of your choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise or donate to support the Lord’s Taverners via twopointsixchallenge.co.uk.  

People of all ages are taking on the 2.6 Challenge with a host of activities – from walking, running or cycling 2.6 miles, juggling for 2.6 minutes, tapping a ball up in the air with your cricket bat 26 times, to holding online workouts with 26 friends. The ideas and options are endless.

The only requirement is that you must follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing. Most people are taking part from Sunday 26 April but you can do your activity whenever is most convenient for you.

There are just five simple steps to take:

1. Create your 2.6 challenge – if you need help there are lots of ideas here.
2. Click here to donate £26 – or whatever you can afford – to the Lord’s Taverners or to set up a fundraising page.
3. Ask all your friends and family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 2.6 Challenge
4. Complete your challenge
5. Share a photo or video of your challenge on social media with #TwoPointSixChallenge while tagging the Lord’s Taverners.
