Due to the absolute importance of maintaining spread across the course, we are only able to consider start time requests that fall into one of the following categories:

• Your start time is DIFFERENT from your team
• Your start time is DIFFERENT from a travel companion
• You are travelling by PUBLIC TRANSPORT and the journey is impossible with your current start time

We will review any requests received and confirm via email if we’ve been able to adjust your start time. 

Please note that for certain challenge distances there are fixed start times and we are unable to offer any flexibility.

 

Charity & Fundraising

NO – you must only select one prime charity for your fundraising – this is because your charity will pay for a portion of your place on the event (out of the fundraising generated by you). If you wish to also fundraise for another charity, you can do so on your own terms as long as you reach the minimum target for the first/ prime charity.

Equally – if you join as a SELF FUNDER – you have complete flexibility on who you fundraise for – and with no targets / deadlines / or any cost to those charities.

If there is a charity you would like to fundraise for that does not appear on our list, we ask that you speak with your preferred Charity about what you would like to, and ask them to register with us via our short contact form which can be found on our website page www.ultrachallenge.com/the-charities/

Once they’ve registered with us, it will take about 5-7 working days to add them onto our registration forms, and you can then sign up to your chosen challenge in aid of them.

Alternatively you can raise for one of the 300+ charities for 2023 challenges we are currently already working with (see our list HERE>>>), or you can Self Fund your place and fundraise for them independently with no fundraising commitment. 

Please note: the above is relevant for Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding places only. If you are entering as a Self Funder you can fundraise for any charity of your choice (only if you want to) & we do not need to be informed.

If you are signing up on a charity sponsorship or a mixed funding place, you must fundraise for a UK based charity and they must be listed with us on our website HERE>>>

If you want to fundraise for a charity that is not based in the UK, you will need to sign up on a self funding place via our website, and you will then need to contact the charity directly to confirm how to get started on your fundraising.

We recommend you create a Just Giving page – and start your fundraising by sharing your page online with your friends & family. Follow the instructions you received from us when you signed up to the challenge (included in your welcome email) to get started. 

YES – a team can – as long as you’re all fundraising for the same charity – as you can create a team fundraising page on Just Giving – we also recommend that you let your charity know this is how you will be fundraising together.
You will still have to reach the combined total fundraising amount – as the target is per person, NOT per team.

If you have chosen to fundraise for a charity (from our list HERE>>>), we will pass your details over to them and you can expect to hear from them within 14 days. If for some reason you do not hear from your charity after this time, please contact them directly, and please email us at  charity@actionchallenge.com & we will follow up with the charity for you.

We will have shared with your Charity your contact details, and they will be in touch with you 7 – 14 days from the date you registered onto the challenge. If you haven’t heard from them outside of this – we recommend you contact them directly by visiting their website and contacting their events fundraising team.

If you still cannot get through to your charity, please email us at charity@actionchallenge.com and we will flag your contact information with them directly in an attempt to urge them to contact you.

Speak to your charity directly – they will be able to offer you support and help to reach your fundraising target and remember only 50% of that target has to be reached 3 weeks before the challenge. Meaning you’ve got time after the challenge to keep on fundraising.

However, if you don’t reach the target and the charity declines your place – we will be in touch with you with alternative options – you can always change to a self-funding place to still take part in the challenge.

Signing up to a Challenge

You must be 18 or over (on the day of the challenge) if taking on a Full Challenge (~100km) or Three Quarter Challenge (~75km); 16+ and accompanied by an adult if taking on a Half Challenge (~50km ), 14+ and accompanied by an adult if taking on a Quarter Challenge (~25km) or Marathon); for a  Half Marathon aged 12+ and accompanied by an adult; and finally 8+ & accompanied by an adult for a 10km/mile Challenge.

Under 18s taking part must be signed up by someone over 18.

You’ll receive a ‘transaction receipt’ (via email) along with a Confirmation Email welcoming you, and detailing any next steps’ timelines you need to be aware of, and how & where to find all the info you’ll need for your Challenge. (NOTEIf you don’t receive this within 12 hours, please check your spam/junk mail folders)

A Multi Deal allows you to save up to 25% if you plan to enter 3 or more events over the year on a Self Fund basis – and always represent our best deal!

Once you have decided how many events you’d like to enter, visit the ‘Multi Deal’ page on the website – or follow the link HERE>>

On the registration page, you must select all of the events you’d like to enter (and specify the distance) – once you’ve have completed your order, you will need to wait until you have received your multi-deal discount code from the team before you will be able to sign up individually for your events. Placing your order does not constitutes entry to the individual events.

When you are attending the events, please ensure you bring ID to collect your event pack so that we can ensure only the original purchaser is participating.

More information on multi-deals is available HERE>>>

If you have already signed up to a Challenge(s) or a multi-deal and now want to take part in another challenge – please complete our application from HERE>>>

All charity sponsorship and mixed funding places close 4 weeks before each challenge, so that you have enough time to fundraise and reach your target. Self funding places close for online registration on the Tuesday before each challenge.

A discount is available if you have previously taken part as a self funding participant.

Please keep an eye out for your discount which will be sent to you via email!

Whilst you are signing up and registering for your challenge – in the TEAM INFO section (towards the end of the registration questions), you will be asked if you would like to ‘Join a team’ or ‘Create a team’.

If selecting to create a team, you will be asked to create a Team Name and Password. Subsequent team members can then register and select to join your team, and will need to provide the team password in order to join it.

We ensure that registered teams are assigned the same start wave (where distance/challenge option allows), and your team name will be printed onto your bib.  

There are no restrictions on our regular teams – you can be any mixture of charities / distances / funding types (i.e. Self Funding, Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding), and can have any number of members (even 1!).

Even if you are not fundraising for the same charity, you can still create a challenge team with us.

Yes – as long as you are fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on Just Giving (we recommend letting your charity know this is how you will be fundraising together). However, please be advised that the minimum fundraising targets remain per person (not per team), so you will need to reach the combined total fundraising amount on your page for your group. 

If there is a charity you would like to fundraise for that does not appear on our list, we ask that you speak with your preferred Charity about what you would like to, and ask them to register with us via our short contact form which can be found on our website page www.ultrachallenge.com/the-charities/

Once they’ve registered with us, it will take about 5-7 working days to add them onto our registration forms, and you can then sign up to your chosen challenge in aid of them.

Alternatively you can raise for one of the 300+ charities for 2023 challenges we are currently already working with (see our list HERE>>>), or you can Self Fund your place and fundraise for them independently with no fundraising commitment. 

Please note: the above is relevant for Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding places only. If you are entering as a Self Funder you can fundraise for any charity of your choice (only if you want to) & we do not need to be informed.

If you are entering on a Charity Sponsorship or Mixed Funding place then NO – you must select one prime charity for your fundraising, and they must be listed with us HERE>>>. This is because your charity will be paying for a portion of your place on the event (out of the fundraising that you generate). If you wish to also fundraise for another charity, you can do so on your own terms but only as long as you reach the minimum fundraising target your first/prime charity.

If you join as a Self Funder however, you have complete flexibility on who you fundraise for – with no targets or deadlines, and no cost to those charities.

If you have chosen to fundraise for a charity (from our list HERE>>>), we will pass your details over to them and you can expect to hear from them within 14 days. If for some reason you do not hear from your charity after this time, please contact them directly, and please email us at charity@actionchallenge.com

If you are looking to join a team on a 2024 challenge, you may have an issue finding the team name or team captain on our registration form or within the team centre. This could be because the team you are trying to join was set up on a 2023 challenge – and a different registration form –  to the 2024 challenge you are now trying to join.

1. Follow the steps on creating a team as you sign up to the challenge.

2. Choose to become the Team Captain of that team, and set up the team name so that it matches the team you are wanting to join, and add 2024 after the team name (e.g. The Walkie Talkies 2024).

3. This way, when we come to allocate start times for the challenge, we can ensure that we match up your team, to the team you are looking to join. 

4. Should anyone else be looking to sign up to the challenge, and join the same team – they will need to then join an existing team using the steps above and search for the team name which has you as the team captain, you created (e.g. The Walkie Talkies 2024).

As the team captain, you created a password when you first set up the team, if you can’t remember what this is, or you’ve written it down wrong – you can quickly find it. 

1. Log into the Team Centre on My Events (see FAQ ‘Managing Your Team’), where you manage your team.

2. Click on the ‘edit’ team info button (blue pencil) on the top right hand of the page.

3. This opens up the team information you created when you set up the team, your password will be next to the padlock. 

On Event Support & Preparation

There’s no denying it – these 50km / 100km challenges are tough. It will be physically and emotionally demanding! You will have to combat fatigue and tiring limbs as you battle through the challenge!

 

You will need to prepare well – and should read the training advice. The more comfortable you are with walking long distances for sustained periods – the more comfortable you will be on the challenge itself.

 

You should also practice walking at night – at similar times to those projected on the schedule – to get your body used to the sensation of walking when it’s normally sleeping and recovering!

 

A training plan is in the Participant’s Area of the website – to assist in your preparation. We also organise regular training walks to get you fitness levels up, as well as to give you the experience which will really help you to complete the challenge!

To run 100km is more than a double marathon – and 50km is a ‘marathon plus’ distance – often across difficult and varied terrain. This is no road marathon – and the running category of the challenge is reserved for only those who are attempting the 100km challenge in under 16 hours – and the 50km in under 7 hours.

The full support we provide on our challenges for runners means that if you have previously run other marathons and now looking to step up your distance to something longer – this is the perfect event to support your challenge!

If however you would like to run and jog (and perhaps walk too!) some of the challenge then you enter into the challenge as a walker and attempt the challenge in that category.

Ultra Challenges are tough events and training is essential for everyone. Preparation is key and will aid your enjoyment of the challenge whilst ensuring that your body is up to the rigors of the event.

 

It is very important for all competitors to train properly and build up endurance and resilience thresholds, alongside your base fitness. This will enable you to cope with the distance and provide you with the ability to recover between stages during the challenge.

 

You will have access to an event specific training guide to aid with your training and preparation, it can be found in the Participant’s Area.

Ultra Challenges are physical events, where you can choose to walk, jog or run a distance of 10km – 100km. We welcome participants of all abilities who are confident in their ability to participate, however must ensure everyone is clear on the requirements and accessibility restrictions of the routes we use. 

While each challenge covers different terrain and landscapes, you can typically expect steep climbs and descents, the necessity to cross stiles, and uneven pathways subject to weather effects such as mud and dust.

Participants with mobility issues have completed our challenges in the past on crutches & wheelchairs, and those with sight loss can also participate with a guide. 

We ask that anyone with accessibility concerns or questions contacts us to discuss their requirements.

Yes, if the event of your choice has run before – You can view results HERE >> 

Step 1: Click “Races”

Step 2: Select “United Kingdom” Under “Geography”

Step 3: Click the relevant year under your past challenge

Step 4: On the new page that opens, type in your first and last name in the search bar and push “Enter” on your keyboard to find your results

We’ve a full kit list on the challenge app, we recommend you download the app for your challenge so you can access all the guides.

 

The kit lists we’ve provided are spilt up by ‘walkers’ & ‘runners’ and are only a guideline for what to bring and wear, your own experience training and weather on the day will play an important factor into what you will require. 

 

There will be a baggage transfer service (at an extra charge) from the start to the finish line for a single piece of baggage not exceeding 75l/20kg – this is bookable on event day. Those taking on 100km can also get their baggage taken to halfway, use any items they need (eg a change of, or extra clothes) , and then onto the finish. Participants who retire from the challenge will be responsible for claiming their baggage at the finish line.

 

Registered Runners will have an extra baggage service – where you will be able to access your bags at the half-way mid point on the challenge should you not wish to run with your bags. Half & Quarter Challenge runners will also have a baggage service for free to take a small rucksack (no larger than a 30L backpack / 10KG absolute max) to their finish line.

Once you’ve signed up to your chosen Challenge, we advise you join our Facebook group ‘The Ultra Challenge Club’ where you can meet & interact with fellow challengers. It’s a great way to ask relevant questions, and learn from the experience of others. 

NO – we do not allow dogs to take part in the challenge as we cannot cater for them along the route, and the rest stops can be very busy, and not all Challengers will be comfortable with them in close proximity. We do however think dogs make for great training companions!

If you unfortunately have to drop out of your challenge, you will need to do so at the nearest check-point if possible, where you will need to alert the event staff, who will ‘log’ you out of the event.

 

From the half way stage onward there will be support vehicles, and shuttle services to the nearest train stations for you to safely and easily return home.

 

If for whatever reason you don’t complete the distance you had sign up to – don’t worry we will celebrate your achievement and give you a medal for the distance you managed anyway!

This very much depends on how you are taking on the challenge (walk / run) – what you are used to – and what the weather / ground conditions are like.  For runners – we simply recommend the shoes you usually train and run in.

 

Walkers – should wear the shoes or boots you have been training in – so your feet are as comfortable as possible. Some choose to wear sturdy trainers or trail shoes – whilst other opt for ankle height walking boots to give maximum support to ankles and feet. It is a personal preference – and we recommend that you experiment on training walks to ensure on the day – you’ll be as comfortable as possible. Feet often tend to swell up a bit with endurance length distances – so bear that in mind – and if the ground is wet and muddy – so will your feet be unless your footware is waterproof!

 

Dry socks are critical to avoid blisters – so bring spare pairs – change often.

 

You can always have a second pair of shoes to change into (if taking on 100km) – by utilising the optional bagage transfer service – to the ~50km half way and then on to the 100km finish.

 

Light open  sandals / flip flops are a good idea for post challenge – to let your feet recover!

Route maps are available online before the event – marked with rest-stops, hazards & distances.

 

The route will also be clearly and fully signed with pink directional arrows and the night time stages will be supplemented with reflective tape and glow sticks – meaning you should never have to worry about finding your way and you can just concentrate on the Challenge!

The routes are fully signed – and during the night stages we use reflective tape and glow sticks so you will always be able to see the marked route. It is also compulsory that all challengers wear a headtorch during the night sections, and a reflective item to wear.

The night stages will also be heavily supported by our team of TREKMASTERS (experienced walkers) – so there’s no need to be on the course by yourself – and we actively encourage groups to join and walk together during the night stages. We will also be tracking every walker at each check point with electronic tagging timing system.

It will be compulsory for you to carry a charged mobile phone and we will have an emergency contact number and contact procedure in the unlikely event you do get lost. Our control room will be on standby throughout the event to help anyone in need.

As we review, change and update each route every year, we continue to work to ensure that our routes are safe and suitable. Therefore we only publish GPX files for each event, 1 week prior to each challenge, once the route has been finally recced and checked, and this will be  available to view and download in the participant area & the event specific app.

You can however view our provisional route on Google Maps, although please note it may change in the lead up to the challenge, click on the links below for your specific challenge:
