Whether it’s along stunning coastline, or on trails through the best of Britain’s countryside, whichever event you choose will be unforgettable. With full support all the way, new friends made, and an amazing sense of achievement. All while supporting Overcoming MS!
100,000 or so adventurers have taken on an Ultra Challenge so far, and the unique events make up the UK’s biggest and best series of treks and trail runs. It’s easy to sign up, and with multiple payment and fundraising options, you can choose whichever is best for you. Don’t forget, it’s your challenge your way, so whether you decide to walk, jog or run the event, you’ll finish with a huge sense of achievement.
If you’re ready to sign up or want more information, visit the Ultra Challenge Series website to search for an event. During the registration process, you’ll be able to choose whether you want to self-fund or raise a minimum sponsorship. Then you can select Overcoming MS as your chosen charity and start fundraising! You will find Overcoming MS under the ‘Medical’ section of charities when you get to this step of the sign up process.
Once you’ve signed up, we recommend you create a Just Giving page and share it with your friends and family to kick start your fundraising. Follow the instructions you receive from your Ultra Challenge Series welcome email when you sign up to a challenge, to help you get started. Don’t forget to let us know when you’ve signed up to an event if you choose to self-fund, so we can still follow your progress and support you along the way to your completing your challenge!
You can walk, jog or run all of the Ultra Challenges in 2023.
There’s an Ultra Challenge for everyone to push themselves further, with 17 events to choose from ranging from scenic coastal paths, lakesides, well-trodden footpaths & some tough hills. There are multiple distance options, including 10k events, half marathon, full marathon and tough ‘continuous’ 100km challenges or a 2 day ‘Daylight’ 100km option with camping halfway.
Your entry includes a range of free food & drink at regular rest stops, and support from medics, marshals and massage teams. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a special medal to celebrate your achievement. Sign up as an individual or with a team & commit to fundraise for us.
