2011 Challenger events take the fundraising total to over £1million!

Since 2008 nearly 6000 Challengers have taking part in Challenger events raising a combined total from sponsorship of £1,219,250. The average amount raised by a Challenger is over £200!

Our Challenger events have gone from strength to strength since they began and are a great way for Challengers to fundraise without the added stress of having to organise the event. All they need to worry about is sorting transport to and from the event and we plan the rest! In 2011 we made the Challenger events bigger and better than ever before.  Our Fundraising Support team were also giving out handy tips and advice on fundraising towards your expedition.

For the first time we organised a Scottish Challenger Run in addition to our North and South Challenger Run and Challengers raised a combined total of £143,000 at these three events.  Please see some of the photos from the events below.  If you would like to see more please follow World Challenge on Facebook.


The Events team are currently planning the 2012 Challenger events calendar so if you have any suggestions for a venue please contact challengerevents@world-challenge.co.uk
