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 at midday on the Wednesday before each challenge.

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

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 600+ charities for 2026 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.
