Over the weekend of 3 April 2010, Officer Cadets from the RMAS will be taking part in 3 Way Challenge, a physically gruelling journey to raise money for charity. The journey will start in the area of Trowbridge, Wiltshire, and will follow three separate routes, all meeting at Westminster, London. The Officer Cadets will spend their spare time over the next two months preparing for one of the three routes:
Route 1: By canoe, following the famous Devizes to Westminster route.
Route 2: By bicycle, following a pre-selected route across three counties.
Route 3: On foot, running approximately five marathons in a row.
The aim is to complete the routes of 125 miles in under 24 hours during an Academy leave weekend.
