RUN FOR CHARITY
Since the inaugural Corrieyairack Challenge in 1993 over £700,000 has been raised by competitors to help fund the running of the respite care centre facilities, based at Badaguish and purchasing specialist equipment – ranging from specially adapted minibuses, side by side bikes and other specialist sports and activity equipment.
All proceeds from this event will go to the Speyside Trust, a small; independent registered Scottish Charity, raising funds to enable people with disabilities to enjoy an outdoor activity holiday. We provide full 24hr respite care for individuals, giving them an independent holiday with activities to suit their ability including, canoeing, cycling, rock scrambling, archery, swimming, trampolining and much more plus day visits to places of interest. Every £200 raised enables a person with disabilities to enjoy a unique outdoor holiday experience. The Charity relies totally on the generosity of those who believe in what we are seeking to do by encouraging us, working with us and giving us financial support. If you would like further information on what the charity does please visit www.badguish.org
Each Corrie Competitor is asked to raise a minimum of £70 sponsorship, or £200 per team. All competitors will be sent a manual sponsorship form once their team’s entry has been confirmed. If you require more sponsor forms then please contact us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
| Does
a team have to be all the same category? |
| No, teams can be mixed categories ie any mix of
R/C, W/C, M/B, or W/O. However, to qualify for team awards the team
must all be the same category. |
| |
| What happens if a team
member pulls out before race day due to injury or other situation
and no replacement can be found? Can the team still enter? |
| Yes, ideally teams will always consist of 3 members,
but we would never preclude a team of 2 or even 1 taking part at the
last minute due to injuries etc. |
| |
| Does the team have
to stick together on the route? |
| No, individuals go at their own pace and team position
is based on the third member's finishing position not time. |
| |
| How important is the
team steward and what do they do? |
| Vital, team stewards are very important for event
safety and marshaling especially over such a long route. We need help
for water stations, road marshaling, start registration and other
jobs too. |
| |
| Can mountain bike categories
change from mountain bike to road bike at Garva Bridge? |
| No, mountain bikers can only change wheels or tyres
at Garva. |

basic farm field) with water, loos and showers provided. |

to welcome you for a look round and a cuppa! |
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
For every penny raised by those who take part in the Corrieyairack,
Badaguish gets matched funding from Europe so it all goes into one
big pot to enable us to purchase things such as:
 |
 |
| Specially adapted minibus to take our visitors
around and about in comfort
and safety |
The logo on the door tells everyone how the Trust
managed to buy the bus .... |
At Badaguish we constructed an under
cover sports hall and the money raised from the Challenge helped us
have a special soft floor installed
Other items purchased or installed with help from the Corrie:
- wheelchair friendly paths
- furnishing all accessible accommodation at Badaguish
- adjustable basketball posts
- specially adapted bikes
- sports equipment and activities
A lot of money goes towards just providing
the staff, care and facilities for year round holidays for special
needs children and adults. |
