What we do

We work with charities from local hospices to household names such as Macmillan, BHF and NSPCC helping to recruit 1000's of fundraisers for runs, bike rides, swims, triathlons, challenges, walks, treks, abseils, zip wires, skydives and virtual challenges.

Better than social media...

We've always had strong results with TimeOutdoors but results for our 2024 team challenge event series have been particularly impressive, converting better than other channels we’re using - including social media.

Case studies

Examples of how we've helped customers recruit more fundraisers.

Customer feedback

I have worked with TimeOutdoors for over 3½ years, to promote places in third party events such as the London Marathon, Great North Run plus selected events via Run for Charity. I cannot recommend the platform highly enough as a way to raise awareness of your cause, charity places and benefit from enquiries (leads) which can convert to sign ups. It has been a fantastic way to recruit new supporters, with many going on to continue to support the charity such as taking on more challenges.

We've always had strong results with TimeOutdoors but results for our 2024 team challenge event series have been particulary impressive, converting better than other channels we’re using - including social media.
