Royal Challenge Fundraising Event in Bermuda

Dockyard, Bermuda - The Royal Challenge, which will take place in Dockyard,  is the final Challenge obstacle fundraising event for the year. Set against the backdrop of Bermuda’s maritime heritage, Royal Challenge will combine elements of this year’s Island Challenge and Urban Foot Race to create a unique obstacle race in the west end.  In teams of three, participants will tackle the unknown in a 5km course, experiencing parts of the Dockyard few have explored before. As it is a team event, participants are expected and encourage to help each other get through [over or under!] the obstacles to reach the finish. Whoever cannot manage an obstacle needs to complete the penalty instead.  www.fundraisingweb.org
