Running
A sponsored run is a common and vital way to raise funds. There are a number of different races across the country that you could participate in.
Get in touch to find out dates and venues for these events
Walking
A sponsored walk is a more accessible option, for many. Some people choose to set themselves a step count or distance challenge to accomplish over a week or month. Others choose to take part in a more structured activity (e.g. walking the Great Glen Way or a local trek).
Cycling
As with running, cycling is available in many different venues, distances and times of the year.
Please get in touch to find out more.
