Shopping centre workout for Preston shoppers

As part of the national One Great Day campaign, a team of St George’s Shopping Centre staff will embark on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday, June 10.

The challenge sees the climbers ascend the three peaks – Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, following a route that is 24 miles long, and includes 5,200ft of ascent.

But for those who want to show their support to the team, there’ll be a workout on gym equipment in the shopping centre from 10am-4pm between June 5-10 to run in tandem with the trek.

The indoor attempt at the three challenges uses gym equipment – walking or running anything from 2.4 to 24 miles on a treadmill, cycling machine or rowing machine.

And passer-by shoppers who rack up the biggest distance on the gym equipment in three minutes put themselves in with a chance to win a haul of prizes.

These include a Pandora bracelet, Armani perfume from The Perfume Shop and a 12-month JD Gym membership.

The workout is open to everyone – shopping centre staff, retailers and members of the public - with all proceeds raised going to Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Baby Beat Appeal.
