In this month's guest blog, 14 Knight Frank graduates tell LandAid about an upcoming fitness and fundraising adventure to the Roof of Africa.

Property people from across the sector will be pitting their wits against each other at a unique challenge event on 16 September, the London TowerAthlon. Organised by LandAid and the Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors, the event sees hundreds of professionals complete an assault course on and around the Broadgate Tower, London's 11th highest skyscraper.

800 professionals from across the property and construction sectors put their best foot forward for young homeless people at yesterday's LandAid 10K sponsored by Bilfinger GVA.

Nathan Pask and Dwynwen Lewis aren't your ordinary property bods. Nathan, a director at Bilfinger GVA by day, is a long-distance and triathlon enthusiast with races including the European Triathlon Championships in Kitzbuhel under his belt.

It's our 30th anniversary year, and to celebrate we're putting on a whole host of events for our incredible supporters.

With the biggest fundraising day of the property calendar just ten days away, here's a run-down of all the fun and frolics that LandAid's partners have planned.

High-flyers from the property industry are putting their fitness to the ultimate test in support of disadvantaged young people as they prepare for the property industry's most adrenaline-fuelled event, the London TowerAthlon.

Bright and early last Friday I found myself stood at St Pancras Station sporting running trainers, my trusty Team LandAid' t-shirt and a look of fear on my face, ready to board a train to Market Harborough. Why Market Harborough I hear you ask? Well, this was due to be the scene of the inaugural property Mudathon, a gruelling 10km obstacle race through mud, water and, most likely, my blood, sweat and tears!

Last year's TowerAthlon had it all: thunderstorms, celebrity chefs and more sweat than you could shake a bucket at! With just five weeks to go until this epic endurance event returns, we thought we'd look back on the highlights of the 2014 challenge.
