DOWNHAM TRIPLE CHALLENGE

The Downham TRIPLE Challenge... a bi-annual event which sees participants take part in three consecutive challenges and then enjoy a communal meal and entertainment afterwards. Activities have included High Tempo Taekwondo, Body Pump, Spin, Pilates, Yoga, Zumba, Circuits... and so much more. We've enjoyed Caribbean and Turkish banquets and live musical entertainment... and raised thousands of pounds for a mix of communal, medical and animal welfare charities.
