Charity challenges and events in 2024/25

Looking for a way to make a difference and have some fun in 2024? Why not take part in a charity challenge or event! Whether you're a runner, hiker, cyclist, walker, swimmer, jumper or abseiler, there are plenty of ways to get involved and support a cause close to your heart.

By taking part, you can raise funds and awareness for your chosen charity while pushing yourself physically and mentally. Not only will you be making a huge difference to the lives of others, but you'll also have an unforgettable experience, create lasting memories and make new friendships.

We've got every type of charity challenge imaginable for every kind of good cause - from small local events like GOSH's RBC Race for the Kids to the biggest charity events in the UK like Macmillan's Mighty Hikes, Cancer Research UK's Big Hikes, London Marathon and Great North Run; from family-friendly charity walks like The Superhero Mile to adventurous multi-activity challenges like Action Medical Research's Race the Sun Series and trekking to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa on Muscular Dystrophy's Trek Kilimanjaro 2024.

So whatever your preferred activity, lace up your shoes, grab your gear and get ready to challenge yourself for a great cause!
