We're Taking on the Peak District Ultra Challenge for Parkinson’s UK – Join Us!
This June, our Aviva Claims Supply Chain team is once again stepping up to take on the Peak District Ultra Challenge—a demanding yet inspiring journey through one of the UK’s most breath-taking national parks. We’re proud to be doing this in support of Parkinson’s UK, a charity close to our hearts. This year, our team has grown to 25 passionate participants, each committed to making a difference.
🚶♂️ The Challenge Ahead
The Peak District Ultra Challenge is no ordinary walk in the park. It’s a true test of endurance, strength, and teamwork, with team members tackling distances of 25km, 50km, 75km, and the full 100km continuous route. The 100km course alone includes a staggering 2,150m of elevation across a figure-of-eight loop through Derbyshire’s finest scenery.
Some of us are pushing even further by taking on the Ultra March®—a no-running, high-discipline version of the challenge, aiming to complete 100km in under 24 hours or 50km in under 12. It’s tough, but so is Parkinson’s—and that’s why we’re doing it.
💙 Why Parkinson’s UK?
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition affecting around 153,000 people in the UK, a number expected to rise to 172,000 by 2030. Every hour, two more people are diagnosed. It impacts not just those living with the condition, but their families and loved ones too.
This cause is especially meaningful to us. Two of our teammates, including our team captain Nick Mayhew, recently lost close family members to Parkinson’s. We walk in their memory—and for everyone affected.
