⚫️⚪️ Eastbourne United AFC: 2000KM in 48 hours! 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Help us reach £6000 to help with

⚫️⚪️ THE EASTBOURNE UNITED AFC 2000KM CHALLENGE! ⚫️⚪️

For the first time ever, Eastbourne United AFC players are coming together for one HUGE challenge — to collectively cover 2000KM in just 48 hours! 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏊‍♀️🛼

📅 23rd–25th October

Every player is asked to contribute at least 15KM. This can be completed individually or by combining the kilometres covered by members of their immediate family.

🎯 OUR TARGET: £6,000

Each team has its own challenge and fundraising target, with 50% of the money raised going directly back to the individual team and 50% going into the Club kitty.

The money raised helps us keep fees low while continuing to provide excellent facilities for training and matches.

Teams can use their share towards:
⚽ Kit
👕 Tracksuits
🏋️ Specialist training equipment
🎉 Team-building days

Every team will be doing something different with their teammates!

Ideas can include:
🏃 Lap running
🥾 Hiking across the Sussex Downs
🛼 Rollerblading along the seafront
🚴 25KM cycle rides

There will also be some internal club challenges along the way:

🏆 Team covering the most kilometres
💷 Team raising the most money
…and plenty more!

We’ll be sharing regular updates across our social media, along with plenty of photos, throughout the 48-hour challenge.
