Whether you want to cycle, walk, run, or create your own unique challenge, there’s a way for everyone to get involved!

Or gather your friends for something creative! Last year, we saw wild swimming, Munro-climbing, and even pogo-stick bouncing 🏞️🏊‍♂️ If you’re not up for a physical challenge, consider hosting a quiz night or a bake sale 🎉🍰

Our holidaymakers had a fantastic Friday filled with plenty of creativity! 🌿🌼
In the morning, we did a Scavenger Hunt at the Royal Botanical Gardens and played Parachute Games in Inverleith Park🕵️‍♂️🌳. It was impressive to witness the high-calibre of detective skills on display.

The afternoon’s excitement was T-shirt Printing, followed by an evening of mocktail making – safe to say some were more delicious than others! 🍸🍹

More action this weekend! Craig was pushing himself yet AGAIN for and was on a bus at 5am to run 10k in the to raise awareness of our wee charity.

Lyndsay was racing twice again around Arthur’s Seat 🙌🏻 She said: “At 51, I’m the oldest SuperTroop volunteer, and that’s why I’m such a slow runner” - but we think you are amazing, Lyndsay, you are so dedicated and you’re an inspiration to all of us!❤️

But what’s this?! No Sue?? Sue’s cycling challenge has been thrown into jeopardy this week as she’s been struck down by the dreaded Covid! Thankfully she’s feeling like she’s on the mend and should be able to finish her challenge by the end of the month.

Can we give her some motivation? She’s so close to her target!

Fantastic efforts from our SuperTroop runners today! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Judith and Stephen took part in the Running Festival. At the other side of the country, Lyndsay continued her twice-round Arthur’s Seat run, which she is doing every Sunday in September.

Today, Seb joined in on the action to keep her company!! ❤️🔥

Hannah is gearing up for a half marathon and got a training run in today, too!

It’s a hot and muggy day to run so well done all!
