Push your limits with the Young Post Mud Race 'Up Your Game' Challenge
Here's your chance to work with a personal trainer and nutritionist for two months, and enter one of the cities' most fun obstacle course races
Did you start the new year intent on spending more time and effort on your fitness? Do you need a little help staying on track? If so, we’ve got a competition that will benefit both your physical and mental health.
We’re offering three lucky winners the chance to work with a personal trainer from F45 for two months, learn about food and fitness from a professional nutritionist, and then compete in Mud Race 2019 (April 28, 2019) as part of a team alongside two past Student of the Year winners and a Young Post Junior Reporter.
You’ll also become a published author: together, the teammates will write three pieces about the experience, and see them printed in Young Post and published online.
For your chance to win:
- Write a letter (100-200 words) to Young Post telling us why you want to be part of this challenge, and what you hope to get out of it
... that’s it! Email your letter to [email protected], with “Up Your Game” in the subject line, and don’t forget to include your full name, age, and school name.
Remember: we’re not looking for the best English-writer, we’re looking for the person who wants this opportunity the most. So don’t worry about whether your letter is in perfect English.
Young Post will shortlist finalists from the letters, and from that group we’ll select the three lucky winners who will receive the training sessions and the chance to compete in the Mud Race.
The deadline for submissions is 11.59pm on Monday, February 11. The shortlisted contestants will then be announced by noon on Friday, February 15.
