Ultra Challenge Series

The Ultra Challenge Series are a selection of endurance events in 2021, located in the most idyllic spots around England. Take a stroll or jog along magnificent coastal scenery, or push yourself to run through stunning open countryside. Decide your own finish line - 25km, 50km or 100km. It's Your Challenge - Your Way!

What's included and what support do I recieve?

You are supported from the minute you sign up to your challenge, to after you've crossed the finish line! Included in many of the challenges are:

• The option to take part on your own or as part of a team
• Rest stops - free snacks & drinks, toilets, medics and masseurs 
• Pre-event training and support
• Full access to the Ultra Challenge app which is packed with information and guidance
• The option to do a full, half or quarter marathon 
• The option to include a camping package
• A glass of bubbly and a medal waiting for you at the finish line!

Action Challenge have implemented many new measures to ensure that every single event is Covid-19 Secure. They remain in continious conversation with councils and SAG groups and have run a successful 'model event' recently, which a council safety official said "will show other events how to do it". New measures include:

• All events hosted outdoors, in open space
• Staggered starting waves, in singles and pairs, meaning social distancing can be observed
• Expanded site and formart for start, rest stops and finish lines
• Mandatory face masks at all rest stops, with clear signage where masks are required
• Hand sanitiser stations and expanded hygiene facilities
• Temperature checks on arrival and pre-screening for all participants
• All staff screened before each event
• Fully compliant with ALL current government guidelines, with scope to adapt to future amendments

There are three ways of funding your Ultra Challenge:

1. Charity Sponsorship – you pay a small registration fee, do lots of fundraising and Ultra Challenge cover the cost of your event place!
2. Mixed Funding – pay half of the event place cost yourself, fundraise a bit less and Ultra Challenge pay the balance of the event place cost.
3. Self Fund – you pay the full cost of the event place - fundraise whatever you want, with no set target or deadline, and there’s no cost at all to Age UK Medway!
