Inspired by our 125<sup>th<\/sup> birthday (or quasquicentennial!), the challenge invites colleagues and customers to take part in a team-based event that combines movement, milestones and making a difference.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How It Works<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From\u00a015 to 21 September, teams of up to five people will take part in a\u00a0virtual race\u00a0along a 125-mile route. The journey will highlight key locations from our company\u2019s history and the partners we support today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether walking, cycling, gardening, or simply staying active in daily routines, team movements will be tracked and converted into steps. As teams progress, they\u2019ll reach checkpoints and compete to be among the first to cross the virtual finish line.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each participant will aim to raise\u00a0\u00a3125 for the OCS Foundation, <a href=\"https:\/\/ocs.com\/uk\/news\/ocs-foundation-relaunches-with-mission-to-empower-children-and-young-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which relaunched earlier this year<\/a> with a renewed focus on empowering children and young people.
