Challenge events
In true Raleigh spirit we've a number of challenge events you can get involved with to test yourself, have fun, get fit and raise funds for our work in the process. Whether you fancy a parachute jump, the Kinabalu challenge, a military challenge, there's something to get you going. You can compete in the London Triathlon, the Adidas Women's Challenge in Hyde Park and the British Military Fitness's 5k and 10k races. If there is a large group of you we can organise a dragon boat challenge for you. Alternatively you could create your own event - many of our alumni generously support us in this way.
Parachute jump
An exhilarating experience you won't forget. Individual jumps can be done any weekend of the year at an airfield to suit you. If you wish to take part in a parachute jump to raise money for your expedition then the minimum sponsorship costs of £395 will go towards the work of Raleigh (this will also cover the cost of the jump) and all monies raised above this amount will go towards your expedition fundraising target. We will require a deposit of £70.
Kinabalu challenge
Fancy trekking through rainforests, riding the rapids on a team-built raft and climbing 4100 metres to reach Mount Kinabalu - the highest mountain in South East Asia. The Kinabalu challenge lasts for five days, bringing together up to 12 teams from around the world. Individual and team applications are welcomed. Raise £2500 in sponsorship and Raleigh will receive a minimum of £1250. Read on for more information
The Military Challenge
The Military challenge is held near Redhill in Surrey. The race is an off-road run with water 'hazards', muddy sections, trees, hills and a swimming pool thrown in for good measure (it's empty!). You'll be electronically timed, so whether you're looking to beat the person in front of you, gain a personal best or just finish the race, it will definitely be worth the challenge. You can choose to participate in either the 5 kilometre or 10 kilometre distance.
This is only a taster of the challenges on offer, please keep checking back for details of more exciting events happening soon. We can also help organise events to suit your needs.
