From running to skydiving, hiking and swimming we have a challenge for everyone. Join Team Steps to help us raise funds to show the whole world that we don’t take walking for granted!
1000 Foot Challenge
We invite you and your family to pledge to walk, run, cycle, scoot, climb or even row a boat for 1000 feet to support Clubfoot Awareness Month this June.
Hip Dip Anytime!
Hip Dip is a sponsored swim with a distance to suit all abilities. You can choose whether to swim 400m, 1.5k, 2.5k, 5k or triple 5k as an individual, or 1.5k or 5k as part of a team – you decide! Then get people to sponsor you!
The Awareness Campaign for Healthy Hips runs in March but you can decide to take up this challenge at anytime during the year!
Email us at fundraising@steps-charity.org.uk once you’ve set up your Just Giving page. You can buy Hip Dip swimming caps here.
Runs
Every year, we have our own places in the AJ Bell Great North and the AJ Bell Bristol Run – 10K. They offer the chance to compete in some of the UK’s landmark athletic events, in return for raising a minimum sponsorship amount for Steps.
If you’re interested in applying for another run, then please email info@steps-charity.org.uk
If you have your own place in a major run, then we’d love to talk to you about how we can support you, if you choose to use the event to raise funds for Steps.
Great North Run
The Great North Run is the largest half marathon in the world, taking place annually in North East England each September. Participants run between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields crossing the iconic Tyne Bridge before continuing their journey to the beautiful coast of South Tyneside.
Great Bristol Run
The AJ Bell Great Bristol Run is known as the best in the South West – with stunning views, inspiring history and graffiti murals; starting in the heart of the city, passing some of the city’s most iconic landmarks before a grandstand finish in Millennium Square. The fast, flat course will make this running event perfect for those on the hunt for a new personal best – what are you waiting for?
Royal Parks Half Marathon
This stunning central London half marathon route takes in some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks, on closed roads and within four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens. Think you can handle it? Download our form now and apply for an individual place!
Why not Sky Dive for Steps!
If you’re brave enough to skydive why not find a company near to you and independently sign-up for a challenge of a lifetime?
There is no minimum sponsorship required for Steps – please consult with the company you sign up with regarding all costs and how best to fundraise. If you do want to fundraise directly for Steps, please inform us first, before signing up, as unfortunately we cannot be responsible for the cost of your jump.
Other Challenges
Every year, numerous charity fundraising challenge events are organised in this country and overseas. These include:
- Cycle rides
- Mountain climbs
- Triathlons
- Long-distance treks
- Swimathons
If you’d like to find out more about these and how you can challenge yourself and raise money for Steps at the same time, please just contact us. We’d love to help you help us!
