The Liquid Roofing and Waterproofing Association (LRWA) has announced the return of the LRWA Charity Challenge 2025.
The annual team competition, to raise funds for youth homelessness charity LandAid, is to take place from Monday 23 June to Friday 11 July 2025.
A company statement said teams of up to 10 people from across the construction and roofing sector, including both LRWA members and non-members, are invited to walk, run, cycle or swim as far as possible in 30 minutes.
Participants can take part from any location and each activity is measured using correction factors to level the playing field. Distances must be tracked and submitted via apps such as Strava.
Bonus kilometres are available through “creativity, fundraising and team spirit”. This includes a 1km bonus for uploading a photo, and 1km bonus for a video of a participant during their activity, which is then posted on LinkedIn or X with the hashtag #LRWAcharitychallenge.
A 5km bonus is available to the team with the most original location photo, which is decided by a public vote. A further 10km bonus for every team raising more than £500, and for the team that raises the most funds for LandAid.
Individuals can also achieve a 5km bonus for running, swimming, walking or cycling the longest distance in their category.
Sarah Spink, CEO of the association, said: “The LRWA Charity Challenge brings our industry together in such a positive way – combining teamwork, creativity and fitness to support LandAid’s incredible work. It’s an event where every kilometre counts, and every team can make a difference. Whether you’re scaling peaks or running the pavements, we can’t wait to see how the teams get on this year. It’s a fun and inclusive event for all abilities and fitness levels, with an underlying objective of raising money for such a worthy cause.”
