Record-Breaking Banyards Goes the Distance Challenge Completed
Throughout September, the Banyards team have been working hard in their spare time to clock up miles and raise funds for our charity of the year, Prostate Cancer UK.
From walking and running to cycling, swimming, skating and even paddle, colleagues across the business have found every possible way to get those miles on the board.
We’re pleased to announce that, through our team’s hard work, we have smashed our original 700-mile target and set a new company record. Collectively, the Banyards team has travelled an incredible 1,137.8 miles in support of Prostate Cancer UK.
That means the team has completed more miles than ever before in the history of our challenge, setting a new distance record over the previous 784.4 miles achieved in 2025.
What’s more, the team has broken another record, with £1,070 raised so far; this is officially the most money Banyards has ever raised through the Banyards Goes the Distance challenge.
This is an incredible achievement and a fantastic reflection of the generosity, enthusiasm and team spirit across the business. Our fundraising has helped us to raise funds for our charity of the year, Prostate Cancer UK.
While the final numbers are something we can all be incredibly proud of, it’s important to remember what sits behind those 1,137.8 miles.
A huge amount of time, effort and commitment has gone into getting us there. From early-morning bike rides and runs before the workday even started to late-night swims and walks after a busy day, our teams have gone above and beyond to clock up those miles.
People have fitted extra activity around work, family, weekends and already busy schedules — often when it would have been much easier to put their feet up instead!
