National Skiathon 2010
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
Disability Snowsport UK is challenging teams to ski or snowboard 666 runs at one of six indoor slopes around the UK on 18 May.
The National Skiathon 2010 involves teams of six members attempting to ski 666 runs between them in under six hours at one of six UK ski centres – the Chill Factore in Manchester, the Tamworth Snow Dome, the Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead or the Castleford, Braehead or Milton Keynes SNO!zone.
Teams are asked to raise a minimum of £666 for Disability Snowsport UK during the thigh-burning challenge, which will see participants ski an average of 111 runs each. The entry fee per team is £66 which includes entry to the team’s chosen slope, fundraising support as well as an event goody bag and t-shirt.
If you are interested in getting involved you can find out which slope is nearest you by looking at our UK slopes map. Then, once you have a team of six together you can register online at or email sophiewood@disabilitysnowsport.org.uk. All entries must be received by Friday 16 April.
Disability Snowsport UK will award prizes to the team that raises the most money as well as the team that puts in the most runs in six hours. They are also pitching the north against the south so teams doing their challenge at Braehead, Castleford, Manchester will be taking on Tamworth, Hemel Hempstead and Milton Keynes.
