On Wednesday 2nd March 2022 a small group of friends have decided to take on this challenge inspired by ex-Navy Seal and ultrarunning nutbag David Goggins, we are all gym enthusiasts who share a love of fitness, however we are by no means runners.

We have decided to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation:Make-A-Wish UK grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and given the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold. We want to transform the lives of 1,000 children this year by granting their One True Wish!

So what is the 4x4x48 Challenge, exactly?

The 4x4x48 challenge involves running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours.

That’s 4 miles, 12 times. Over a 48 hour period.

So 48 miles in total (or 77 kilometers).

In other words, we’re well into ultramarathon territory.

 But – this is ultra-running with a twist.

Instead of doing all those miles in one run, the challenge is broken into 12, 4-hour chunks.

This means that you’re never running for too long without stopping, so your legs won’t get fatigued in the usual way they do during an ultra.

But it also means that you never really get a proper break – a chance to get some real sleep or let your body recover.

Do you want to join us in making a difference? We're raising money in aid of Make-A-Wish Foundation UK and every donation will help. 

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
