The CRS Challenge Program
The CRS Challenge is a series of expeditions and fundraising campaigns to support cancer research. During these expeditions, adventure sport buffs conquer physical exploits that require courage, stamina and dedication. They participate in athletic challenges in far-flung locations around the world, in honour of a cancer hero— a friend or loved one who is currently suffering from cancer or who previously battled the disease. The Cancer Research Society can also match participants with a hero.
The challenge includes a complete physical training program to help participants achieve these physical endeavours. Experts in the field, including a trainer, a nutritionist, an expedition expert, a travel advisor, and a fundraising coordinator are available to support and advise participants on their physical and fundraising efforts.
In 2012-2013, we offer the following destinations: Kilimanjaro Climb (2012), Everest Base Camp Climb (2012), Choquequirao Trek (2013), Walk through Cinque Terre (2013), Walk on the Great Wall of China (2013), Kilimanjaro Climb (2013) and Lausanne Marathon (2013).

Kilimanjaro Climb - 2012
Read moreFrom September 30, 2012 to October 12, 2012
Climbing Africa's highest summit is undoubtedly a one-of-a-kind adventure. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest stand-alone mountain, crowned by a snowy cap at its pinnacle. Climbing via the Machame route generally provides the most impressive landscapes, allowing participants to fully enjoy the mountain in all of its glory.

Everest Base Camp Climb - 2012
Read moreFrom October 26, 2012 to November 11, 2012
As conveyed by its name, Everest base camp is the starting point for all mountaineers who hope to scale the planet's highest mountain. Base camp is located immediately underneath the risky and forbidding Khumbu Icefall, at the tip of the glacier of the same name. Luckily, the journey to base camp does not require crossing any dangerous glaciers with crevasses or cascades.

Although it presents some similarities in structure and architecture to the Machu Picchu, it is much less frequented by tourists, which gives it a great advantage. Located at an altitude of 3,085 meters in the chain of Salkantay, in the province of La Convención, Choquequirao overlooks the valley of river Río Apurímac.

Walk on the Great Wall of China - 2013
Read moreFrom May 21, 2013 to June 3, 2013
The Great Wall is a masterpiece; not only because of the ambitious nature of the undertaking and the perfection of its construction, but also because it offers a perfect example of architecture integrated into the landscape, on the vast scale of a continent. It is not surprising that it has been, since 1987, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
