Why complete the Absolute Challenges LEJOG?

Other reasons might include raising money for a charitable cause, setting a record, seeing the country or just spending time with friends.

Whatever the reason, it will be an incredible journey across a beautiful country! No-one involved in will walk away unmoved by their achievement.
