THE #5608CHALLENGE - RACE TO GALLE!

Support the Cumbria Cricket Family as we work together to complete the 5,608 mile journey from Cumbria to the Galle International Stadium in Sri Lanka, in time for the last England v Sri Lanka test match on Tuesday 26th January 2021.

Cumbrian Cricketers and supporters are aiming to walk, run, cycle or swim 5,608 miles in two weeks and raise as much money as possible for two great Cumbrian causes!

The money raised will be split equally between the Cumbria Cricket Programme, supporting talented young Cricketers, and Cumbria Community Foundation - a local charity that exists to address disadvantage in our County by making life-changing grants and promoting philanthropy. You can find out more about the work of Cumbria Community Foundation on their website: www.cumbriafoundation.org

As well as raising money for two excellent causes, the challenge will keep everyone active and connected through lockdown, as we work together as a team to smash our target!
