The latest estimate is that the 2023 Ultra Challenge Series raised over £7 million for over 400 different UK Charities – join us in 2024 and your charity could benefit from this extraordinary level of fundraising these events generate!
We have confirmed for 2024 our Series Partners, however spaces on our other partnership levels are still available – meaning your charity can work with us, and promote to your fundraisers the UK’s best endurance events – hassle free, risk free & high reward!
Our 12 Series Partner spots have already been bagged, by long standing partners whom have worked with us for many years. Our Series Partnership requests are now closed for 2024.
A Challenge Partner will be promoted alongside a specific event, or set of events – with additional marketing support from us, and featured listing on our website – to increase sign up potential.
Packages include:
In 2023 Challenge Partners, on average, saw a 50% increase in their fundraisers since 2022 (including both existing partners who have renewed & those who upgraded from Associate Partner & Listed Charity).
Fees for Challenge Partnerships start at £1,000 per event, with discounts for multiple event partnerships.
Associate Partners pay a one off annual fee for prominence & presence across each and every event page – with a 25% discount off registration fees for your charity fundraisers.
An Associate Partner will receive:
Becoming a Listed Charity means just that – we will list your charity on the Ultra Challenge website and registration forms, available for fundraisers to select and support. You will get access to our Charity Area, filled with useful guides and resources to help you promote the Series and get more fundraisers signed up. And we will share your fundraiser data with you via a secure reporting portal.
There is no fee for being a Listed Charity, it’s a great risk free opportunity for small ‘start up’ charities to promote & push 1st class events – with no commitment or initial outlay.
Your Ultra Challenge fundraisers will be shared with your charity via a secure online portal, which allows you to track, manage & report on all of your fundraisers. We have a separate online portal for both your 2023 and 2024 challengers, meaning that you can easily keep a track of them.
Only charities that have registered with us and have a fundraiser signed up (for that year i.e. 2024) can expect to recieve a notification from us with the details of how you can log into your portal.
We update all registrations into the portal once a week.
Once you have your first fundraisers registered for the Ultra Challenge Series, you will be sent an email notification with your log in details for the reporting portal link. Via this portal you can see who has signed for each challenge, their funding option, distance, fundraising target, 50% fundraising target deadline, cost to the charity and fundraiser contact details so you can begin stewardship. This portal will be updated weekly with new registrations.
Once you have been sent an email notification of your first fundraiser, you must login to your charity portal and ‘acknowledge’ any fundraisers listed on there. Doing this lets us know that you are aware of them, have/are making an effort to contact them, and you are offering them fundraising stewardship.
Once you have been sent your fundraiser info, you should focus on supporting their fundraising – ensuring they are on track to meet their 50% minimum target (3 weeks before each challenge). 5 weeks before each challenge, we will ask you to let us know if you are not happy to cover the cost of anyone’s place (ie: if they haven’t done any fundraising!), and this can be done via the reporting portal. This means you will only be invoiced for fundraisers who have met their 50% minimum fundraising targets.
You may receive requests from your fundraisers to make changes to their registrations. Please be aware that that there is an admin fee that a participant must pay to request a change to their registration.

Please read through the relevant guide thoroughly before listing the challenges on your charity website.

These are inclusive and accessible challenges, open to people of all abilities.
