Banyards Goes the Distance for Prostate Cancer UK
The 2026 “Banyards Goes the Distance” (BGTD) challenge kicks off on Tuesday 1st September 2026.
Throughout September, the Banyards team will be getting active and collectively aiming to Go the Distance for our charity of the Year, Prostate Cancer UK.
The team aims to travel the equivalent of 700 miles from London to St John’s Point in Scotland! The team will be clocking up miles running, walking, cycling, swimming and rowing.
Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK, with more than 64,000 men diagnosed every year. Sadly, more than 12,000 men die from the disease every year – that’s a huge number of families, friends, dads, brothers, partners and colleagues affected.
Even more strikingly, 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. For Black men, that risk rises to 1 in 4.
That’s why raising awareness and funding research, early diagnosis and support for men and their families is so important. Every mile we cover, and every pound we raise, can help Prostate Cancer UK work towards a future where fewer men die from this disease.
Last year, the team covered a record-breaking 784.4 miles in just one month, raising £715 for charity. This year, we want to smash both records.
Every single mile counts, whether it’s a daily commute on foot, a weekend stroll, or time logged on indoor gym equipment will help take the team one step closer to reaching their goal (cars, motorbikes and e-bikes don’t count).
This year, 15 members of the Banyards team have stepped up to take on the challenge:
