With two boys you can imagine how much energy they need to burn off each day. So, Hayley came up with a new challenge for her husband Richard and their two boys Jayden 6 and Archie 5 – The Chisolm’s Family Lockdown Marathon! Let’s see how they did this adventurous activity…

Describe activity:

The idea was to ride, run, walk or scooter 26 miles! We kept track by adding a heart to our chart every time we completed a mile. It took us about two weeks to complete the marathon; some days we managed a mile and other days 3.5 miles.

At the halfway point the boys got a rainbow band and once they completed the challenge, they received their gold lockdown 2020 medals (all purchased for a couple of pounds each from eBay). The boys were so excited to receive their medals and even on days where it was raining outside, they wanted to go out so they could add a heart to their chart!!

What’s your next project idea:

Who knows what our next challenge might be? Maybe a London to Brighton type of distance or we might cycle the distance to our favourite campsite in Wittering. Whatever it is we will continue to have fun on our Covid-19 adventure.
