SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity are an official charity partner in the Ultra Challenge series and we would love for you to join us at one of these fantastic events. 

Polly, a 2023 Lake District Challenge participant says:

"This was my first ever ultra and I wanted something that was going to challenge me both mentally and physically. This event was amazing because there were regular ’aid stations’ and having catering and first aid along the way made it really easy and stress free because I knew everything I needed was provided along the way which meant I could carry less and focus on the beautiful scenery.

"I have family and friends in the military and I’m always in awe of the training they do and the commitment to their jobs so I wanted to raise money for SSAFA so that when armed forces personnel need some help and support, SSAFA has the resources to be able to do that. An excellent event for a really worthwhile cause."
