The Hearts and Heroes Challenge is a 29-mile foot challenge, set along the Southern Upland Way in Scotland. Skyblu engineered a website for the first challenge in 2009, which attracted over 500 competitors and raised £244,961.

The website aims to create a buzz amongst visitors and encourage them to sign up. The front page features a really cool video (created by Tigershark), and the website is fully integrated with social networking platforms including Facebook, Flickr and Disuqus - providing an interactive comments system for news items.

Find out more through the case study, or pay the site a visit.

A good while ago, we were asked by Poppyscotland - a genuinely brilliant charity and organisers of the Scottish Poppy Appeal - to design and build a website for a fitness challenge event they were planning along with two other charities - Hearts & Balls and The Sportman's Charity.

Saturday 16th of May saw the culmination of our efforts when 542 people turned out to attempt the punishing 29 mile course. Rugby players, soldiers, bankers, accountants, athletes and even young offenders were among those who turned up.
