Grampian Disability Sport

Virtual Pentathlon
2020-09-07 - 2020-10-05
Unfortunately, this year’s Scottish Disability Sport Junior & Senior Athletics events were unable to take place in person. However, in place of the events, this year a virtual Pentathlon is taking place over the course of 5 weeks. Each week will offer a new activity, which participants complete from the comfort of their home, videoing or capturing their efforts via camera and submitting their results to Sarah, the Grampian Disability Sport secretary. The total points for Grampian Disability Sport are tallied up & reported to Scottish Disability Sport & we’ll be placed on the leaderboard with the other participating Branches.
The more Grampian Champions involved, the better!
If you’d like to be part of Team Grampian, please complete and return the GDS Penathlon Team Entry Form to Sarah at s.hawken@hotmail.co.uk. There’s no cost involved in taking part.
