We are attempting to run the 496 Challange in January 2023.

If you run 1km on the first of the month, 2km on the 2nd of the month and so on eventually in January 2023 we will each have ran a total of 496km/308.2 miles. This works out as an average of 16km every day or 10 miles every day. 

To put this into perspective it is the equivalent of running from Newcastle to London and the participants will burn somewhere in the region of 42,000 calories!

Participants:

Will Hogg
Andrew Kane
Sandy Kerr
Sam Nicholson

TVLB, based from our Watch House Museum in Tynemouth, operate a coastal rescue team covering the North Tyneside area, as well at the tidal reaches of the River Tyne. We rely entirely on voluntary donations to ensure our team of volunteers have access to high quality equipment and training – allowing them to provide a fast and efficient response to a wide range of incidents. Our free-to-visit museum chronicles the areas rich history of maritime rescue, and acts as our basis for our outreach work focused on water and sea safety awareness.
