On 14th June 2025 team Wood / Wales have signed ourselves up to compete in the Norfolk Superhero challenge!

This is a quadrathlon event held at Burnham Overy Staithe on the North Norfolk coast. We will be competing as a team of brother-in-laws aiming to take on the challenge of a 1 mile sea swim, a 4 mile kayak through the marsh creeks, a 45 mile bike ride and finally an 8 mile run across the beach / marshes.

If you were able to spare anything towards this great cause we would be incredibly grateful.

This year, the Norfolk Superhero Challenge is supporting Norfolk Community Foundation’s A Better Childhood mission to get Norfolk’s children active!

Why is this important?

In Norfolk, 1 in 5 children leave primary school obese, and 8% have a mental health need. Yet, local spending on youth services is just £6.50 per child annually—compared to £150 in inner-city Camden. The Norfolk Superhero Challenge aims to change that.

How will your support help?

The Norfolk Superhero Fund will, for example, enable us to subsidise or even fully fund club memberships and kit, which would have otherwise been unaffordable, as well as fund much needed coaching and equipment. Did you know that a third of children in the UK can’t swim and the number is growing. This is just one example of how we plan to help.

Together, we can create opportunities that inspire the young people in Norfolk who need it most to live healthier, more active lives.
