CRASH Corporate Patrons and Supporters take on the Inflatable 5K Obstacle Challenge

Over the course of the summer, teams from five Corporate Patron companies and two CRASH supporters took on this fun-filled challenge – the world’s largest inflatable obstacle course, whilst raising funds for CRASH’s vital work with homelessness charities and hospices.

The course offers distances ranging from 2.5K to 15K – and has been taking places at various locations across the country. Colleagues from AECOM, British Gypsum, Genuit Group, JNP Group, Kingspan, and supporters N-Able and ETEX Group tackled 32 giant obstacles, running and bouncing their way to the finish line! Family members joined some of the groups, and the course made for a fun team-building day out for everyone.

In total, the teams raised an incredible £2,070 in aid of CRASH – without these donations we could not continue our crucial work supporting homelessness charities and hospices with their construction projects. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and raised vital funds for industry charity CRASH – we are so grateful for your support.

“On a delightfully damp Saturday, the JNP Bristol team tackled the Inflatable 5K Obstacle Course. Despite the torrential rain the night before, the course stayed miraculously dry. As the course unfolded, our agile team (well, most of them) bounced over the giant inflatables like caffeinated kangaroos. It was a day of camaraderie with the occasional involuntary somersault. And yes, we hit our fundraising target. The lesson of the day? When life throws inflatable walls at you, bounce right back-preferably with style and grace. As we celebrated our success, we vowed to return next year.”
