Springboard launches summer virtual race

The Springboard Charity is calling on hospitality businesses to rally together and raise funds to support its work removing barriers to employment in the industry. The Springboard Virtual Race 2026 – The Stadium Sprint is a nationwide fundraising initiative designed to support people into careers in the sector and help address ongoing workforce challenges.

Taking place throughout July 2026, this year’s event will see teams of 20 race each other along a unique digital route visiting iconic stadiums across Mexico, the USA and Canada, tying into a summer of sport and celebration. Participants will collectively clock up miles through walking, running, cycling or swimming, using activity trackers to move their team along the route.

‘The power to change lives’
Chris Gamm, chief executive officer of Springboard, said: “The Springboard Virtual Race is a fun, inclusive way for hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars and hospitality suppliers to come together, energise their teams and raise game‑changing funds. Every registration, every pound raised and every team that signs up helps create brighter futures for people and a stronger, more resilient workforce for hospitality.”
