Medbourne CC 24X24 Challenge

Help Us Tackle the 24X24 Challenge for a Good Cause!

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

Medbourne Cricket Club has not historically been known for its long distance athletic prowess, with it's focus more traditionally on sixes over cow corner. But that is about to change.

We are excited to announce the 24X24 Challenge, an fundraising event organized by the players of Medbourne Cricket Club! Over 24 hours, each individual participant will run 24 miles, adhering to the rules of completing 4 miles every four hours. This challenge is not just about pushing our limits; it's about coming together as a community to support two important causes that mean a lot to us.

Why We’re Running

1. Supporting Medbourne Cricket Club: Our great cricket club is more than just a place to play; it’s a hub for our community, a space for socialising and lets face it, dropping plenty of catches . The funds raised will go directly towards the ongoing maintenance and development of the club, ensuring that it remains a thriving venue for future generations. From pitch upkeep to facility improvements, your contributions will help us keep the club being the great place it is.

2. Helping Pancreatic Cancer UK: Pancreatic Cancer UK is dedicated to transforming the future for pancreatic cancer patients by funding research breakthroughs, campaigning for improved treatment and care, and supporting those affected. Their vision is to help everyone with pancreatic cancer survive and live long, well lives through comprehensive support and innovative research initiatives.

The Challenge

On 21st March, our team will gather at Medbourne Cricket Club to take on this gruelling challenge. We’ll begin at 6pm and continue running, pacing ourselves to complete the 24 miles by the end of the 24-hour period. This isn’t just about physical endurance; it’s about camaraderie, teamwork, and spending a night in sleeping bags in the clubhouse.
