Ruffer Calendar Challenge

A group of Josh’s colleagues from Ruffer are undertaking the Calendar Challenge in his memory to raise money for The Josh Davies Foundation.

The challenge is a fundraiser

inspired by an incredible challenge that Josh took on in September 2024. He started by running 1km on the 1st, added another kilometre each day, and finished with 30km on the 30th. By the end of the month, he had run an extraordinary 465km, the equivalent of just over 11 marathons.

Anyone who knew Josh will recognise the determination behind that achievement. Running was a huge part of who he was, and he threw himself into it with the same energy, humour and commitment that he brought to everything else.

This September, Ruffer will take on Josh’s challenge in teams. They will share the daily distances between the teams, walking or running their way to 465km over the month and completing together what Josh achieved on his own.
