THE HAMBO SHOWDOWN FITNESS CHALLENGE IS OPEN TO ALL
The Hambo Showdown is a new team fitness challenge for businesses, gyms, sports clubs and groups of friends organised by the Matt Hampson Foundation.
The Foundation’s Get Busy Living Centre near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire hosts the Showdown on Friday, 4th July (10.00am-4.00pm with barbeque until 6.00pm) with relay teams of 4 members who will row, run and ski-erg as far as possible in a series of 30-minute slots with the best combined score declared overall winner.
Entries are open for team members of all standards and experience, from beginners to more serious athletes. You can be as competitive as you want to be – or just have a fun day!
This is a great opportunity to share a memorable day out with colleagues while knowing that you are helping to make a difference to young lives.
The Foundation hopes participants can each raise around £250 in sponsorship to fund physical and emotional support for young people seriously injured in sport. Every pound raised will add one metre to your team’s total score!
The Get Busy Living Centre was opened in 2018, providing expert physiotherapy, sports therapy, specialist personal training, wellbeing support, yoga and pilates, peer support, mentoring and advice, helping people to ‘get busy living’ again following life-changing injury.
By becoming part of the community Matt has created, beneficiaries can draw on the experience and knowledge of others who have been on a similar journey, developing the tools and skills to move on and focus on what they can do – not what they can’t. Eventually beneficiaries become the ones providing the support to others. This is a huge part of their rehabilitation and being able to help others provides a real sense of purpose and identity.
Join us for the Hambo Showdown 2025! As well as the competition and a chance to meet Matt Hampson OBE, the day also includes:
- Live music
