The Leaders’ Challenge (e.g. an executive, director, manager or similar) usually starts on the Friday. The Leaders’ Challenge is an opportunity for managers to actively support their team prior to the event through fundraising and training for example and to participate in the event itself. In addition the event provides a forum to network with colleagues from across the industry. Leaders will take part in one of the event stages with their team and depart when the event finishes.

Teams have the choice of donating all of their funds to one of the nominated event charities or choose to split the funds equally between both.
