Obstacles

Choose an obstacle challenge – Turn teamwork into impact

Obstacle events are lively, messy and full of laughter, and they’re a brilliant way to support children who face challenges of their own every day. Whether you choose the mud‑soaked camaraderie of Tough Mudder or the bright, joyful chaos of an inflatable fun run, every obstacle you take on helps create confidence, independence, and unforgettable moments for Dreamflight children.

Why choose an obstacle challenge?

These events are great if you want to:

  • take on a fun, sociable challenge
  • enjoy something active without the pressure of racing
  • build teamwork with friends, colleagues or family
  • try a memorable experience that feels big but still achievable
  • raise money in a lively, feel‑good way

Supporters often tell us these events are some of the most encouraging and enjoyable challenges they have ever taken on.

How it works

We partner with experienced organisers who specialise in well‑run obstacle events. Each option offers its own sense of fun, teamwork, and achievement, and every one helps support Dreamflight children

Tough Mudder

We offer discounted charity places through Run for Charity. If you are entering as a team or workplace group, you can also get in touch, and we can explore team options through GiveStar, an official Tough Mudder partner. However you sign up, we will support your fundraising throughout.

 Inflatable Challenge

These fun‑run style obstacle courses take place across the UK and can be booked directly through Run for Charity. Simply choose your event, sign up through their site, and fundraise for Dreamflight with your own page. We are here to help you with ideas, encouragement, and guidance every step of the way.

Obstacle events are full of energy, encouragement and fun, and the impact you make is even bigger. Below are two of the most popular obstacle‑style challenges you can take on for Dreamflight. Choose the one that inspires you, and we’ll help you get started.

Planning your own obstacle challenge?

If you already have an event in mind, or you would like to create your own challenge with friends, colleagues or a sports group, we’d love to hear from you. We can help you get started, share fundraising ideas, and make sure you feel supported throughout.

General fundraising opportunities 

Not every challenge is the right fit for everyone and that’s absolutely fine. There are loads of other ways to support Dreamflight, from creative ideas to team fundraisers and everything in between. Whether it’s a bake sale, quiz night, sponsored silence, dress‑down day, office challenge or something completely your own, every pound raised helps create moments of confidence, independence and joy for Dreamflight children.

If you’ve got an idea, or you’re not quite sure where to start, we’d love to help. Drop us a line at fundraising@dreamflight.org and we’ll support you with ideas, encouragement and everything you need to get going.
