Challenge events

Not at all. There is something for everyone and every ability. You can choose a distance, pace or challenge that feels right for you. If you are unsure, we can talk you through the options and help you find something that suits your confidence level.

Minimum age requirements vary from event to event. You will find details on each event page, but if anything feels unclear, please get in touch and we can check for you.

Each event has its own sign up process. Some are hosted on Run for Charity, and others are organised directly through partners such as Ultra Challenge, GoSkydive, or other trusted organisers. Your chosen event page will explain what to do next, and we are always here if you want help navigating the process.

Yes, please do. It helps us make sure you are choosing the event that fits you best. In some cases there may be discounted charity places available that are not listed yet, so it is always worth checking in.

Absolutely. If you already have a confirmed place with an organiser, we would love to support you. You will still receive the same encouragement, materials and guidance as our charity place participants.

Some organised events offer discounted charity places, which usually come with a fundraising target to help support Dreamflight’s work. Targets vary by event, and we will always help you choose something that feels achievable.

You will have a named contact in our fundraising team, along with ideas, materials, images and approved wording if you would like it. We stay in touch throughout your journey with encouragement and guidance whenever you need it.

Most people choose to use platforms such as JustGiving or Enthuse because they are simple, familiar and easy to share with supporters. You are welcome to use whichever platform suits you best. Once your event place is confirmed, you can create your fundraising page and personalise it with your story, photos and updates. If you are new to fundraising, we can help you set everything up and make sure your page feels personal and inspiring.

Once you have registered, the event organiser will confirm your place and you can set up your fundraising page. We will then get in touch with you directly to welcome you and guide you through the next steps.

If you can no longer take part, just let us know. We can talk you through your options and help you decide what feels best.
