Sport Relief 2016

Sport Relief is back again 18-20 March and here at Sport & Exercise we’re looking forward to bringing you another great selection of fundraising fun to celebrate it.

Sport & Exercise is supporting Sport Relief 2016 with a week of events and fundraising opportunities, running from 14-21 March.  This follows the UNITE Student 'Static' Bike Challenge earlier in the month. Take a look at what is up next:

  • Gate Fee Donations & Member Fundraising

University of Edinburgh staff, students and guests of members can come and try our world-class Pleasance gym for a minimum donation of £3 all week. Bring a friend along or just join us for a workout. Just sign in at reception.*

Members can also choose to give money at one of the fundraising buckets at the Pleasance or St Leonard’s.

  • Fancy Dress Boot Camp

Our Boot Campers will be sweating it out in fancy dress on Wednesday evening. Donations will be made to the charity and photos will be taken!

  • Pirates of the Karabiner: ‘00s Climbing Night and Competition

Our Noughties Climbing Night is the last in the series and will be going out with a bang on Monday 21 March, donating its entry fees to Sport Relief. The event is open to all and only costs £3 per person. Participants are invited to come in fancy dress inspired by the '00s - just make sure your outfit is still suitable to wear for climbing! There will be pizza for everyone, prizes for the best dressed and even a raffle. Sport Relief goodies will also be up for grabs!

These events are in support of Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland), which runs Sport Relief. The charity supports various good causes, such as sport and health initiatives, in the UK and abroad. Find out more about Sport Relief.
