Walk, jog or run the Peak District Challenge for Deafblind UK!
100 / 75 / 50 / 25 km or Bakewell 10 mile challenge
Over 2,000 adventures will take on the fabulous Peak District as a walk, jog or a run, and all will receive the famous ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way enabling you to push yourself further and achieve something really special! From the Bakewell basecamp the full 100 km challenge heads out past Chatsworth House, and on through varied terrain with a few testing climbs, and some stunning views. With half (50km), quarter (25km) & 10 mile challenge options also available, plus optional camping packages, there’s an unforgettable Ultra Challenge weekend for everyone in the Peaks! This event is part of the Ultra Challenge Series – 16 great events where you can walk, jog or run your chosen distance in the UK’s most iconic locations!

Fundraising options:
With £3 million needing to be raised each year to fund Deafblind UK’s full range of services, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist wellbeing support for someone who is deafblind.
Choose your challenge distance and fund your entry in one of three ways:
- Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
- Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will cover the cost of your event place
- Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will pay the balance of the event place cost
Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge.
