We are calling on all sporting clubs, organisations and individuals to participate in the Get Active Central Highlands – Virtual Challenge!
Through the Virtual Challenge, we are encouraging everyone from our community to participate in physical activity over a 14-day period and go into a draw to win individual and team prizes worth a total of $1,250.
The Virtual Challenge, which begins on Monday 28th September, will be hosted on Facebook and getting involved is super easy. Once registered, participants simply upload photos or videos of themselves, their environment or their fitness app whilst completing a physical activity.
All participants who register by Sunday 27th September will also go into a draw to win a three-month membership to the Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre.
The Virtual Challenge is being delivered by Sports Central in partnership with the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, City of Ballarat and Women’s Health Grampians, and is proudly sponsored by Rebel Sport.
