Take on a Challenge Event and help our homeless dogs!
Fancy taking on a 10k run? A hike up a mountain or something a little more exciting like a 5k inflatable obstacle course? We have something for everyone!
How to choose?
Not sure what you want to do? Sit down with your family, friends or colleagues and talk about what will give you a great experience but also will challenge you enough to ensure that people you sponsor you to keep you motivated.
Doing it solo but want to be in a team environment? Then go for the Great Birmingham Runs or the Snowdon at Sunrise – we have teams that take part in these events and you will be able to join a dedicated support group where you’ll get all the motivation, training tips and support that you need.
Get people involved
Looking for something to do as a group? Get your friends, family or colleagues on board. The more people you get signed up will only help with your fundraising target but you will also create the most amazing memories. You can set up a group JustGiving page and raise funds together.
How to Sign up?
Once you’ve decided on what challenge event to take part in, click on the relevant link and follow the instructions. Some will offer you different sponsorship options but you will receive an email from our team to welcome you and help get you started on your journey.
