You must be 18 or over on the day of the challenge if taking on a Full Challenge (~100km) or 3/4 Challenge (~75km).

It’s 16+ & accompanied by an adult if taking on a Half Challenge (~50km); aged 14+ & accompanied by an adult if taking on a Quarter Challenge (~25km or Marathon); aged 12+ & accompanied by an adult if taking on a Half Marathon; and aged 8+ & accompanied by an adult for a 10km/mile Challenge.

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

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

To set up a Team – a ‘Team Captain‘ needs nominating to initially register the Team Name (and start time).

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.

Whilst you are signing up and registering for your challenge, the TEAM INFO section (towards the end of the registration questions), will ask 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.

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.

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 / details you’ll need for your Challenge. (NOTE– If you don’t receive that e mail within 12 hours, please check your spam/junk mail folders)

If you’ve chosen to join via one of the ‘charity’ fundraising options – you MUST follow the instructions and set up your online sponsorship / fundraising page on JustGiving.com as soon as possible.

Failure to do this will lead to complications with your charity not being able to tie your fundraising to your chosen Ultra Challenge event.

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.

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. The Multi Deal will always be 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).

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.
