Story

Yorkshire Ambulance Service staff and volunteers really are 'going the extra mile' to keep us all safe during these challenging times. Can you go the extra mile for them by taking on and conquering the Outrun an Ambulance challenge this year?

Your challenge is to do at least one more mile than an YAS ambulance covers in an average 12 hour shift!

You can walk, run, cycle, swim, scoot, paddle or ride anything that is self-propelled. Do it on your own, with friends or as part of a team. Set your own time-frame for your challenge but aim to complete it within 3 months.

STEP 1: CHOOSE A DISTANCE from the Ambulance Station list below:-

Step 2: DECIDE HOW you want to do your mileage (i.e. run, walk, cycle etc..), set your time-frame (maximum 3 months) and plan to either go it alone or recruit your team.

Step 3: PLAN YOUR FUNDRAISING. Set up your own JustGiving page by clicking "start fundraising" on this page and email yas.charity@nhs.net to let us know, and for suport, social media help, etc.

Step 4: GO FOR IT! Everyone who completes their Outrun an Ambulance challenge and raises at least £1 will receive a special Certificate of Thanks. Those fundraising heroes who complete their challenge and raise £100 or more will also be sent a medal.

Your donations from the Outrun an Ambulance challenge will be used to provide enhanced facilities and wellbeing support for our Yorkshire Ambulance Service staff and volunteers

Please share your progress on social media using the hashtag #Icanoutrunanambulance

THANK YOU for your support and good luck with your Outrun an Ambulance 2022 challenge.
