Ultra Challenge – Thames Path Challenge
Saturday 9 September 2023 - Sunday 10 September 2023
Run, jog or hike the Thames Path Challenge for hospice care
22km, 28km, 50km or 100km Challenge
This amazing route is steeped in history and offers a superb backdrop for a festival of riverside challenges with four unique events! More than 3,000 challengers will take on the main Thames Path Challenge following the course of England’s greatest river. Most will walk, many will jog, some will run: all will have a special reason to push themselves. You’ll be fully supported all the way and rewarded with an amazing sense of achievement. Will you do it for Pilgrims?
Choosing to fundraise for Pilgrims Hospices with your walk, jog or run along the Jurassic Coast will support us in continuing to care for over 2,500 people each year who are facing an incurable illness across east Kent.
What’s included?
- Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
- Pace walkers, marshals, medics and massage
- Fully signed route
- Shuttle buses & transfers
- Finisher’s medal, t-shirt and a glass of bubbly
- Optional training walks & event app
- Corporate packages available – round up your colleagues!
Fundraising options:
With 80% of our hospice funding coming through voluntary donations from our local community, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist nursing care in one of our inpatient units.
Once you’ve decided on your challenge distance, there are three ways to fund your entry:
- Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
- Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will cover the cost of your event place
- Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will pay the balance of the event place cost
Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge – full challenge, half challenge or quarter challenge.
