What is the RBS Caledonian Challenge?
The RBS Caledonian Challenge offers you ‘The Walk of Your Life'. The goal is for teams of 4 to 6 people to complete 54 miles in 24 hours, whilst helping to support some of Scotland’s most isolated communities. In terms of physical endeavour it is the equivalent of completing two London Marathons and two ascents of Ben Nevis all at once.
The RBS Caledonian Challenge is a fundraising event run exclusively in aid of the Scottish Community Foundation, a registered Scottish Charity (SCO22910). It is organised and promoted by SCF (Events) Ltd., a wholly owned trading subsidiary of the Foundation and a registered Scottish company. (SC308253).
