Go for Gold for the DHT

Golden opportunity to run Olympic 100m

THE DR HADWEN TRUST is offering supporters who sign up to the ‘Gold Challenge’ by February 27 the chance to run the 100m at the Olympic Stadium. 

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will take place on April 1, as part of the first official Olympic stadium test event, watched by friends, family and a cheering crowd of 20,000.

The Dr Hadwen Trust (DHT) has teamed up with the Gold Challenge, the UK’s only Olympic & Paralympic sport based charity challenge, to give two lucky supporters the chance to be among the first people in the world to run 100m on the same track that Team GB will compete against other world class athletes in the summer of 2012.

People who sign up to Gold Challenge by February 27, and have selected the DHT as their chosen charity and started fundraising, will be entered into a ballot to win this unique opportunity. 

Runners-up will get the chance to take part in the Gold Challenge Stadium Parade along with Team GB Legends, celebrity ambassadors and over 150 UK charities.

Kailah Eglington, Chief Executive, of the Dr Hadwen Trust, said: “This is an amazing opportunity to share in the excitement and build-up to London 2012 and do something special for the DHT at the same time.”

The 100m prize includes:

• Entering the stadium via the official athlete route
• A pre-race warm up with an athlete on the indoor track
• One lane in a 100m race
• A photo finish
• A medal
• One guest pass for a stadium seat
