We scoured the Hartlepool Mail archives for a selection of images from people who took on top tasks – either for fun or for charity – in years gone by.
Here are nine of them, from a Mecca task on the treadmill to children on a chatterbox challenge.
There’s the people pictured in a hit-the-crossbar event to volunteers who tried the Ice Bucket Challenge at Tesco in Hartlepool.
There’s plenty of television challenges at the moment to get your attention such as Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins, Celebrity Masterchef, and Strictly Come Dancing is back soon too.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on these challenges closer to home.
