Hands Up Foundation is now Action Syria

Treks and trail runs

Fancy taking on a bigger challenge? You could get involved in a larger trek or trail run in support of Action Syria.

These challenges are flexible, achievable and open to all ages, fitness and experience levels.

Take on a bigger challenge in 2026

We’ve teamed up with Ultra Challenge to give you access to a range of trek and trail run events across the UK. These events enable you to take on a bigger challenge, while raising money to support Action Syria’s vital health and education programmes.

Whether along a stunning coastline or on trails through magnificent countryside, get your friends or family involved and walk, jog or run anywhere between 10 and 100km! You’ll get full support along the way, including plenty of food and drink, medics, camaraderie, a medal and t-shirt – as well as an amazing sense of achievement.

With 20 events to choose from, and distance options ranging from 10km up to the full 100km, there’s an Ultra Challenge waiting for you in 2026!

We’ve handpicked a few upcoming events below to get you started. Sign up before the end of February for 50% off your registration fee when opting for Full Charity Sponsorship. Use the discount code HELLO2026 at the checkout on Ultra Challenge’s website for this New Year Deal.
