The second Charity January weight loss contest organised by Activity Algarve starts in a few days and the first "weigh in" will be on Wednesday 4th January at Courtside Cafe. This is a fun contest that hopefully inspires people to get fit in January 2012 and also raises some money for a worthwhile local charity, probably the childrens home in Loulé.
The same rules apply as last year - you have to pay an entrance fee of €20, then attend one of the regular bike rides to register at a "Weigh in" on Wednesday 4th January, Saturday 7th, or Sunday 8th January. You will then have to "Weigh out" towards the end of January on Wednesday 25th, Saturday 28th or Sunday 29th January. Obviously if you "weigh in" as early as possible and "weigh out" as late as possible you give yourself the biggest chance to win!
This year Paul is happy to accept international entrants who will have to email him their own "weigh in" and "weigh out" and pay their entrance fee!
Anyone wishing to have a "private weigh in" can also do so just email Paul to confirm details!
Prizes are as follows:-
50% of the total pooled entrance fees will be split evenly for the following three categories:-
1. Highest overall weight loss 2. Greatest weight loss as a percentage or original body weight 3. Most kms cycled on Activity Algarve bike ride events during January
Last year, Jacqueline Leembruggen easily won category 1 & 2, with a staggering weight loss of 8.1kg, but can she win again this year ??? There is already have one entrant claiming that he will win the contest .... ?
50% of the total pooled entrance fee will go to a needy local charity, probably the childrens home in Loulé. This contest is not restricted to the regular bike riders, so if you wish to invite friends to join in then please do so. They simply have to attend a bike ride (they don't even have to ride if they dont want to) to weigh in and pay the entrance fee!
