2024 Yoke Challenge

2024 Yoke Challenge Registration

5 Hours of Yoke for 5 Months

In 2023 alone, the Yoke Challenge grew exponentially to the point where we knew in 2024, we would need to approach this differently!

In 2024 we are launching Worldwide, 5 Hours of Yoke for 5 Months.

This means that each location across Australia, New Zealand, Europe & the United States can now select a Date & Time that they can bring together; their Athletes (Yoke Carriers) & Community, to make History once again!

Carrying a Yoke around the world for 5 Hours across 5 months is something that hasn't been done before, so we aim to increase awareness, funding & access to Mental Health Support Services, the best way we know how, finishing up around Mental Health Awareness month here in Australia.

Registration is Open Now Worldwide!

The Locations to kick off 2024's Yoke Challenge are Northside Strong & The Empire Bodyshop in QLD Australia on June 30th; we would love to see your Teams continue on this important work from July 1st to November 30th 2024 alongside many others, all across the World!

Each Team / Location is asked to select a Date & Time to run their 5 Hour Yoke Carry Event & request each Athlete to Register themselves via the below link, so our Team can ensure each Location is supported.

Athlete's are asked to Register as they would for any other Event, for the small pledge of $50.00AUD per Athlete. Each Athlete will receive a Strength 4 Strength Athlete's Shirt as a part of this Registration, with the remaining balance being donated to Mental Health Registered Charities.

ATHLETE REGISTRATION HERE!

Every Yoke Running in Each Location needs Volunteers too!

Wanting to be a part of this Event but not sure how?

Each Team in every Location will need important people just like you!

From Time-keeping to Counting Laps achieved, selling raffle tickets or even feeding & watering the Troops - there is always a need for Volunteers who are not carrying a Yoke, we call them "the Glue" that holds the Events together!

If this sounds like it is in your wheelhouse, we would love for you to register below!

We ask Volunteers to make a Pledge of $20.00AUD who will also receive a Strength 4 Strength Pit Crew Shirt as a part of this Registration, with the remaining balance being donated to Mental Health Registered Charities.

How can we contribute to raising more funds or donations?

BBQ

Who doesn’t like a snag in bread with all the trimmings? It’s a crowd favorite & sometimes it’s the perfect addition to an Event such as this because well, People have gotta eat!

Ideally profits are donated to Strength 4 Strength after the cost of food & beverages have been taken out so that everyone gets what they need (Unless the Event Coordinator / Location would like to contribute this their own way of donating to the cause.

RAFFLES / SPECTATOR CHALLENGES

Simply speaking to your village can allow you to bundle up some amazing prizes or packs that could be raffled off by enlisting a simple challenge for spectators to be a part of, including but not limited to: hammer hold for time, ice bath challenges etc.

Raffle prizes are ideally donated or minimal monies outlaid by the location host so that maximal funds can be donated.
