Team Gloucester swap scrumptious countryside for the world's once deepest canal!

The Kier Gloucester team hit the streets of Cheltenham for day two of their 2020 challenge. Equipped with nothing more than a pair of walking boots, donation buckets and bounds of enthusiam the team begin their three mile trek to Cheltenham Ladies College.

Leg two and our cyclists build up a sweat as they descend on a 10 mile journey to Gloucestershire County Council's Shire Hall.

Gloucester is behind us as the Mayor of Gloucester, Steve Morgan welcomes our leg two cyclists. Riding high the team swap their handle bars for paddles as they sail 3 miles along Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Finally our courageous paddle boarders reach the day's final destination, marking the end of day two.

Tomorrow Team Gloucester embark on their most extreme 2020 Challenge yet, as they tackle Gloucester Ski Slopes, battle against army troups and roller skate their final 70 miles!

Well done team Gloucester for the incredible dedication displayed by all day two participants!

2020 Challenge - Join the journey

This year Build UK are aiming to raise over £200k for charity with the 2020 challenge, the event will link up all the regional businesses on a ‘green’ journey and is open to everyone to take part.

Starting at the most northerly Kier site on Orkney the challenge is to join up each business on the green relay route that takes in all Kier offices and as many sites as possible. The journey has to be completed in 2020 hours and must finish at the most southerly site in Cornwall.

The challenge is to complete the green relay using only ‘non-motorised’ forms of transport such as walking, running, horse-riding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, land surfing, surfing, ice skating, cycling…..

The monies raised will go towards the Kier Foundation charity this year ‘Alzheimer’s’ and to local charities that have been nominated by each of the local offices.

We would be grateful if you could help us raise as much money as possible by either sponsoring our journey or making a pledge.

As a sponsor you would be invited to join in the challenge at any stage. We have a range of sponsorship opportunities available and for our main sponsor the package also includes a team building day for ten people, which will make up part of the journey. The event takes place over four weeks providing plenty of press opportunities at local and regional levels for all sponsors.

We do hope that you will join us in some way on our journey and help us to raise us much money as we can for our chosen charities, who work so hard to support their local causes.
