Automotive companies from across the UK are being invited to put their mental and physical fitness to the test by competing in the inaugural Beast of Ben challenge in Summer 2022. Ben the automotive industry charity has announced the launch of its new Beast of Ben event - a gruelling challenge that will see teams from different automotive companies going head-to-head taking on a series of tasks that will test their skill speed and stamina. Teams will be made up of 4 people and in addition to the main challenges that include abseiling water crossing navigation and problem solving the teams will also be able to earn time advantages and bonus points before the event by taking part in additional trials and reaching fundraising milestones. The event will take place in North Wales from 6-8th July 2022 and is open to anyone who works in the automotive industry regardless of age. While the Beast of Ben is not as physically demanding as an Iron Man participants will still need to be confident in their level of fitness in order to take part. The teams will spend two nights camping in the exclusive Beast of Ben athletes village where participants will enjoy entertainment and food between challenges. The registration fee is £ 250pp which contributes towards the team s fundraising target expected to be in excess of £ 5 000 per team of 4 and companies can enter just one or multiple teams to compete. While the Beast of Ben challenge will give the winning companies bragging rights over their competitors more importantly the event will raise life-saving funds that will enable Ben to support those in the automotive community who are struggling or in crisis.
