The background to the challenge. 

There are MANY organisations which offer either a Weight loss or a fitness challenge… there are, however, very few that can offer a challenge which combines the two. 

This is what the FitSlim Challenge is all about. It is a Challenge which takes account of BOTH WEIGHT LOSS and FITNESS.  Participants are recognised for both their weight loss as well as the number of Run/Walk For Life sessions they attend (Fitness). 

SCORING

For the challenge, WEIGHT LOSS and FITNESS are weighted as follows:

Weight loss:  50%                (Kilograms lost as a percentage of start weight)

Fitness:          50%                (Number of RWFL sessions attended – max 3 per week)

 Members can enter as INDIVIDUALS or as members ot a Team (4 people).

PRIZES

1. Individual members

This year, we will have the following prize categories available:   

- 1st, 2nd and 3rd place nationally. 

- 1st place groups (Groups consist of 4 members each.)

Please note that an entrant can WIN one of the 3 national prizes and be a winner as part of group.

Participants could also be a regional winner and a winner as part of a group. (We will confirm if regional prizes will be available before the marking for FitSlim 2022 kicks off.)
