Story

We're delighted to be sharing this fundraising challenge event with you all.

As the pandemic has postponed the Invictus Games from taking part in The Hague in 2020, this year (now happening in 2022), we are running this challenge event that gives indivduals, team and families the opportunity to track their progress circumnavigating The Netherlands.

This will be happening in what would have been Games Week this year: 29th May 2021

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

Join us in our attempt to complete a virtual circumnavigation of The Netherlands in just 24 hours! From 0001 to 2359 (BST) on the 29th May 2021, we are calling on the help of the Global Invictus Community to help us with this challenge that marks the fact that, even though it has been postponed due to the pandemic, we will be welcoming teams to The Hague, The Netherlands in 2022 for the fifth Invictus Games. More information and how to register can be found here:

The aim is to complete a full lap of The Netherlands - 918 miles within a 24hr period. Participants will contribute to the collective total by exercising in their own location then inputting the distance they have covered. They can undertake the challenge as an individual and simply contribute to the grand total, or they may choose to join a national team, a team specifically for Friends and Family of serving personnel and veterans, a team for healthcare workers. There is also the option to form your own team, drawn from your own community, workplace, unit or school!

ABOUT THE INVICTUS GAMES FOUNDATION

Most of us will never know the enduring and true horrors of combat or experience the untold impact of no longer being able to serve.

Living with visible and invisible wounds, servicemen and women across the globe find the strength and motivation to move on.

To not be defined by their injuries.

We inspire those who are wounded, injured or sick (WIS) to recover and rehabilitate through the power of sport and adventurous challenge.

We believe they, and their families, deserve to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives.

With your support they can continue to lead a life unconquered.

Thank you to all the teams who are taking part in this activity and for raising funds to support wounded, injured, or sick veterans and service personnel take on a new challenges and rebuild their lives.

About the charity

Through sport and adventurous challenge we inspire, improve and influence the recovery and rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
