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
Up for a big adrenaline rush? Why not throw yourself out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane to raise money for your expedition fundraising or to support Raleigh in our 25th anniversary year?
Individual jumps can be done any day of the year at an airfield to suit you. There is a minimum fundraising target of £395 and a £70 deposit is required to secure your place.

The 2009 Kinabalu Challenge will take place between 6th - 14th November. Download the brochure, watch a video and find out more here
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.
