What will you carry?
There’s no right answer. Your load can be practical, personal, playful or meaningful.
PERSONAL
Something that says something about you.
A favourite book, childhood keepsake, sporting gear, a pet, musical instrument, a canvas you have painted or perhaps a bag of knitting!
PRACTICAL
Something familiar, useful or easy to get your hands on.
Think groceries, laundry basket, sports equipment, hand weights, a backpack or tote bag filled with everyday items you already have at home.
PLAYFUL
Something people will notice, remember and ask you about.
Own a garden gnome, disco ball, giant teddy, inflatable pink flamingo or a life-sized mannequin? The more unexpected the better.
MEANINGFUL
Something that carries a story with it.
Think a photo, keepsake, meaningful piece of clothing or something connected to the person or reason you’re carrying for.
Build it your Way
Three simple steps to build a load that’s right for you
1. Choose it
Pick something that feels manageable and right for you
2. TEst IT
Try carrying it before the event weekend
3. Make it yours
Decorate it, theme it or build it with your team!
Choose what feels right for you.
Look after you. Carrying more is not better. But once you've decided, let people see it by posting an update on your fundraising page or socials.
Carrying with others?
Build your load. Bring your crew.
Carry The Load can be done solo, but can be more fun with other people. Build a shared load, choose a team theme or take turns carrying it across your 10km.
