Grenade has never been one to back down from a challenge. Be it smashing world records, fighting to keep gyms open, or supporting our Team Grenade members in achieving their own ground-breaking feats, embracing the unexpected is woven into our very DNA.

 

Year on year, Grenade continues to break into the unknown. 2023 has already seen us drop the legendary OREO Protein Bar, which has taken the nutrition space by storm, as well as our recent Chocolate Salted Caramel Protein Shake launch.

 

But now, it’s time to go one step further.

 

We’re looking to arm up the ultimate recruits in our ‘Built for the Biggest of Challenges’ campaign. If you’re attempting an epic fitness feat, or know and individual or group that is, let us know below and earn yourself the chance to a supply care package from Grenade!

 

Check out some of the ongoing and recent campaigns Grenade supports!

Joshua Patterson
- Run41M -

Get ready for a jaw-dropping endurance challenge – Joshua Patterson is running 76 marathons in 76 days, one in every UK city!

 

Not only is Joshua undertaking an incredible feat, but he also targets to raise £1 million for the Samaritans, a charity very close to Joshua and those around him. With the Samaritans having a base in every city Joshua runs through, it’s no doubt he’ll reach this incredible target. Joshua’s JustGiving page highlights the importance of why he’s raising money for Samaritans. “Raising £1,000,000 will fund 200,000 lifesaving phone calls. This is why Samaritans are so important. Listening, giving guidance, and knowing you’re never alone.”

 

Whilst Joshua is powered by an incredible passion and drive for mental health awareness, Grenade has also partnered with Joshua to help him get over the finish line for each of those 76 marathons!

Ian Rivers
- Sentinel Row -

Former SAS army veteran, Ian Rivers, approached Grenade back in 2021 about a never-before-done challenge. To row the Atlantic the ‘wrong’ way round (from west to east), without GPS and using only the sun, stars and a sextant to guide him, it didn’t take long for word to spread at Grenade HQ that this was something we just had to support.

 

At Grenade we like to think we push extremity to its limits, but this unsupported trip, spanning a whopping 85 days, with 9-12 hours of rowing per day, pushed the boundaries of extreme to a whole new dimension. It’s a feat that nobody had ever managed to complete it before, this was a world first and Ian managed to crush it.

 

Not only did Ian pull off a near impossible feat, but his challenge also gained wide-spread recognition from all around the world, including Bear Grylls... Oh, and he casually raised over £500k for charity on top!

 

Grenade was proud to fuel Ian throughout his crazy endeavour. The journey, mindset, and grit that Ian showed really taught us a thing or two back at Grenade HQ.

 

Joe Schofield
- The Uphill Battle -

Get ready for the ultimate beast challenge, ‘The Uphill Battle’ – featuring a man, a barbell, and the infamous National 3 Peaks. 

 

The National 3 Peaks challenge isn't for the faint hearted. Imagine you're climbing the mightiest peaks of Scotland, England, and Wales. All in a 24-hour rampage. Over 3000m total ascent, an average 5-hour slog up each rock face. It's an epic throwdown against nature herself. 

 

Oh, and one more thing - you're doing it while hauling a 62.5kg barbell. 

 

Meet Joe Schofield, the insane yet inspirational mastermind behind this challenge. Dedicated to Joe’s Father, who sadly lost his battle with cancer in 2019, the challenge is in place to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support in his memory. 

 

Aptly named the ‘Uphill Battle’, Joe decided to add a heavy but meaningful twist to his 3-peak endeavour by throwing in a 62.5kg barbell along the way. 62.5kg is about the weight of an average adult and represents Joe carrying the person who can't join him anymore. It's a hardcore tribute to a dad who would've loved the rough and tumble of this challenge.  

 

“With a shared love for the more adventurous challenges, Dad would’ve loved to join me on this, but obviously he will never be able to, and so being able to bring this weight to represent him means such a lot, and it means just as much that we can raise money for Macmillan who helped us and thousands of others when they need it most.” 

 

Supporting Joe is The Uphill Battle team, the vital engine behind this colossal feat. They're gearing up and getting pumped for D-day - July 13th 2023, when things get real. 

 

You can follow the guts, glory, and unfathomable heights on their social media channels as the team charges towards the challenge. The team plan to share a documentary capturing every gruelling, inspiring moment of this Herculean endeavour!
