Residents are being invited to don their trainers and sweat bands and take part in a series of challenges all designed to test teamwork and athleticism at Stratford Leisure Centre on Saturday July 27.
Teams must be made up of four and no prior sporting experience is required. There will be separate categories for Family Champions and Adult Team Champions.
Entry is £40 per team – with tem per cent of all proceeds going to Dementia UK supporting those living with dementia.
The event will take place between 1pm and 5pm at Stratford Leisure Centre, which is managed by the event organisers, Everyone Active, in partnership with Stratford District Council.
The tournament challenges have been inspired by the sporting and fitness activities found in the centre, such as Clip n’ Climb and the Atlantis Pool Inflatable.
Participants will also be made to battle it out in a game of TAGactive – an indoor obstacle course similar to Ninja Warrior. Strength and endurance will be tested in a series of gym challenges.
Activity and wellbeing manager Amy Widman said: “We’re thrilled to be hosting the first ever Stratford district community games. With an exciting summer of sport ahead of us, we’re encouraging people to get in the spirit and join us for a day of fun, friendly competition.
“The event is for an amazing cause too, as we’ll be raising vital funds for Dementia UK, so we hope to see as many teams as possible come forward to compete.”
