UK Wheelchair Challenge 2010

17th June 2010

2010 is a big year for sport: The Football World Cup in South Africa, the Commonwealth Games in India and Golf's Ryder Cup in Wales to name but three. But for disabled people, there is an event that could be even bigger...

Later this year the UK will host the very first UK Wheelchair Challenge: a charity event exclusively for wheelchair users over 1km or 3km. The inaugural UK Wheelchair Challenge is sponsored by GM Coachwork - Greater Mobility and will take place on Sunday 19th September 2010 at Tudor Grange Park, Solihull. The UK Wheelchair Challenge promises to be an ambitious, fun and welcome addition to the disabled sporting calendar. Not only will 250 entrants get the chance to socialise in a recreational environment, they can also raise money for their favourite disabled charity by getting themselves sponsored to take part.

Being a wheelchair user does not mean you can't be active or take part in an organised sporting event. The primary goals of the UK Wheelchair Challenge is therefore to motivate wheelchair users, encouraging them to get into sport and realise that they can set goals and challenges and reach them.
