Capital One Associates Conquer "Race Across the Lakes" for BRACE Dementia Research
In September 2025, the incredible spirit of Capital One associates shone brightly despite the rather dreary weather as they tackled this year's Charity Challenge: Race Across the Lakes. Battling wind and rain, their determination remained unwavering, all for a fantastic cause.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that over 50 associates have collectively raised an astounding over £40,000 for BRACE Dementia Research! Through a series of demanding challenges across the breathtaking Lake District, they truly went the extra mile (and then some!) to support vital research.
Inspired by the BBC TV show, "Race Across the World," teams of six embarked on a multi-route trekking and activity challenge. Navigating their way through the stunning Lake District National Park, teams raced to various activity stations, earning points and time bonuses while completing a range of tasks. From kayaking and mountain biking to thrilling scavenger hunts and surprise missions, every route presented a unique and exciting test of skill and teamwork.
What a ride! A massive congratulations to all the Capital One associates involved in this year's Charity Challenge. Your dedication and hard work have made a significant impact, and we couldn't be prouder!
'It was truly inspiring to see so many of our associates embrace this challenge, pushing their limits and working together, all for such a critical cause. Their enthusiasm and commitment were incredible, and the amount raised for BRACE Dementia Research is a testament to their amazing efforts.'
