Overseas Challenge

Ready for your next challenge? With an overseas event you could complete your next personal best hiking in Iceland, cycling the Golden Coast or following the footsteps of the Incas in Peru. So, what are you waiting for? Fasten your seatbelt, it’s almost time for take-off! 

 We know you are taking on a huge challenge and there’s a lot to think about. That’s why we’ve got two very straightforward options for you to choose from when you take part in an overseas trek or cycle with our charity partners Global Adventure Challenges. 

Travel with confidence 

Global Adventure Challenges understand that there are a lot of things to consider before you get back out into the world. Check out their new Travel with Confidence policy, outlining the steps being taken to make sure that you are safe. Just click on the link above to explore the policy, and if you need to know more then don’t hesitate to get in touch. 

Registration

Option 1: self-funded. Sign up, pay your registration fee, then fund the rest of the fee yourself. This way you have no minimum sponsorship target to hit, so there is less pressure on you whilst you train! 

This is called ‘Option B’, with Global Adventure Challenges 

Option 2: minimum sponsorship. Sign up, pay your registration fee, select us as your chosen charity and we will review your application. Once we are satisfied we have all the information we need, we fund the cost of your challenge* in exchange for a pledge to raise a minimum amount for Trust (this can vary from event to event, so please check before you commit). Remember, 80% of your sponsorship is due approximately 12 weeks prior to your departure date. 

* Please note, we can only pay for your place, for an overseas challenge, if you sign up through Global Adventure Challenges, and select ‘Option A’. We cannot accept any invoices from any other providers. You can, of course, opt to use another provider, however, you will need to select the self-funded option. 

Now it’s time to choose your challenge!
