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.
From a Windsor Racecourse basecamp, 2000 adventurers will head out on looped routes through the Great Park with fantastic views of the Castle, on to Runnymede, along the Thames Path, and taking in some wonderful surrounding countryside. Join as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way!
Take on the spectacular World Heritage coastline while fundraising for Action Syria! After starting in Corfe Castle, the route heads down to Swanage, and along through Lulworth Cove, past Durdle Door, with ups and downs to Weymouth halfway. For full 100 km challengers, it’s past Portland Bill, Chesil Beach, and on to West Bay before finishing in Bridport. Join up to 3,000 adventures as an individual or as a team.
If you are completing an Ultra Challenge, there are a few different fundraising options to choose from:
Full charity sponsorship – Pay a small registration fee and fundraise for Action Syria, who cover the cost of your event place subject to you reaching an agreed fundraising target.
Charity mixed funding – You pay half your place cost when signing up (with Action Syria paying the other half) – and then fundraise for Action Syria with a lower agreed target.
Own place fundraising – You pay the full place cost when registering, and fundraise whatever you can for Action Syria with no target.
To find out more about the options and pricing, go to page 7 in our digital fundraising toolkit. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at contact@actionsyria.org.uk
