Participants in the Cornwall 2012 Physical Activity Challenge can go to any participating Leisure Centre in Cornwall and participate in any activity they choose. Challenge participants can then register their activity so long as it lasts at least 2,012 seconds, or 34 minutes. After completing your challenge complete the Cornwall 2012 activity registration form and hand in to the reception at the Leisure Centre to claim your ‘buy one, get one free’ swim voucher. Your registration form will also be put into a County prize draw to win a bike. Children participants will also receive a free certificate of participation. The personal challenge activities must take place over the weekend. Activities taking place at a Leisure Centre will be charged at the normal price. Participants do not need to pre-register. Just go to the Leisure Centre reception and ask for a registration form

The Dartmoor Mountain Marathon is a foot based, two day navigation event taking place on 24th & 25th July 2010, and is open to teams of two and solo competitors. The event follows the now infamous format of a mountain marathon, with competitors navigating over tough terrain to visit check points whilst carrying enough equipment to remain self sufficient.
