Lifting the Decks 2022 Virtual 10km – Registration Now Open!

Scribe WO2 (AQMS) Gaz Hooson

After the tremendous success of the 10k in 2021, where over 1,400 competitors participated to raise over £12,500 for The REME Charity, we are back with the 2022 event!

This year we are going bigger and want to break the records of the inaugural challenge, with both monies raised and participants involved. The money raised will help The REME Charity fund the Corps mental health initiative ‘Lifting the Decks’; providing timely support and respite for all members of the REME Family.

Please encourage your family and friends to participate. No matter where you live, who you are, your connection to the REME Family or your level of fitness - join in! Last year people joined us on kayaks, horseback, with bergen’s and pulling vehicles from locations such as Brunei, the Falkland Islands, Iraq, Estonia and Canada.

This event is taking place during mental health awareness week between 09-15 May 2022, which this year is focussed on loneliness - so make it a team event if you can.
