- Visitor Information
Put yourself through a military Personal Fitness Assessment and win a trip to Mount Everest in this BRUT-sponsored fund-raising event for Help for Heroes at Battersea Millennium Arena. All you have to do is two minutes of press ups, followed by two minutes of sit ups, and finally a 1.5 mile run - so what are you waiting for? The best in each time slot will win a prize and the fittest of the day will win a fully paid for place on a Help for Heros trip to the Base Camp of Mount Everest in Nepal, joining wounded soldiers and others to help raise further money Help for Heroes. Qualified instructors will be on hand throughout the day to put you through your paces and ensure there's no slacking in the ranks. Granted, it may not be the way you usually spend a quite Sunday in September - but boy will you feel good about yourself afterwards. Entry costs ?10 (which goes straight to Help for Heroes) and slots run every hour and a half from 10am till 5.30pm.

Although there has been a track here at Battersea Park since the 1920s, the modern facilities were updated as part of a £2.6 million project funded by Wandsworth Council and a Lottery Sports Award in time for the beginning of the 21st century. More about Millennium Arena
