It’s been just over a week since two absolute Bingham RFC legends, Dan Martin and Chris Packer, completed one of the most brutal challenges ever attempted at our club and only now are their legs starting to feel human again

Over 50 relentless hours, Dan and Chris cycled a staggering 1,023,946 metres (that’s 621.38 miles) on static bikes.

Dan: 540,326 metres
Chris: 483,620 metres

Running on only a few hours of sleep, they tag-teamed throughout the challenge, pushing each other through every painful minute with one shared goal:

To raise £4,000 for three incredible charities close to their hearts:

• Blood Cancer UK – in memory of Dan’s wife
• Matt Hampson Foundation – supporting those injured in sport
• National Autistic Society – championing understanding and support

Thanks to the unbelievable support shown during and after the ride, they’re now agonisingly close to hitting that target.

With just a little more help, we can get them over the line.

Every donation, big or small, truly does make a massive difference.

Dan and Chris have been overwhelmed by the encouragement, love, and generosity shown throughout this challenge. They want to give a massive thank you to:

Their family, friends, and work colleagues; Everyone at Bingham Rugby Club, Blood Cancer UK, Matt Hampson Foundation and the National Autistic Society, Wattbike & Get More Vits for their support

And a huge shoutout to our friends at Havant Rugby Club who invited us to take on and completed the same challenge and supported us with kit and encouragement

This challenge has showcased the very best of rugby values — teamwork, respect, community, resilience, and looking after each other.

From all of us at Bingham RFC — Thank you.

Let’s give this final push and help Dan & Chris reach their goal.
