Rutherglen charity urging locals to take part in nationwide fitness challenge this weekend – Daily Record

People are being urged to take part in a nationwide fitness challenge while backing a charitys efforts during the coronavirus crisis.

The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday on what should have been the 40th London Marathon.

As a local charity responding to COVID-19 in the community, Healthy n Happy is asking for support.

From Sunday, Healthy n Happy wants as many people as possible to get involved in the 2.6 Challenge by undertaking an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26.

It lasts a week and is open to people of all ages and abilities. The only requirement is participants must follow guidelines on exercise, social distancing and staying local.

Brendan Rooney, executive director of Healthy n Happy, said: The 2.6 Challenge can be anything from walking, running or cycling 2.6 miles, 2.6km or for 26 minutes. Or you could hop or skip round your garden 26 times, go up and down the stairs 26 times or do 26 press ups.

Or, if you just fancy something fun, maybe flip 26 pancakes, get 26 people on a video call or juggle for 2.6 minutes.

We would love for local people to safely get active, have fun and raise money for Healthy n Happy.

This means we can continue to support those most in need across our Rutherglen and Cambuslang.
