Challenge Events
Run, ride or swim with Whisper's Magical Children's Hospital 🏆
As a high-impact charity, Whisper offers you and your supporters a cause worth supporting, where even small donations can be life-changing ✨
What we can offer you
- No entry fee. This is unusual.
- We count legitimate Gift Aid towards your target, which not all charity places do.
- Advice and practical help on fundraising.
- If you have to drop out for some reason, we can usually, at our discretion, offer you a place the following year and credit you with your fundraising; conditions may apply.
- The places and related expenses have been funded by a Whisper supporter as a thank you 👏🏼 to YOU for taking part. Your supporters aren't paying for your place. This is unusual.
I cannot tell you how inspiring this charity is. They do incredible work. I am raising money for Whisper but the support I am getting from them is fantastic. I have never had this before when raising money for charity. a previous runner in the London Marathon
We currently have, or expect to have, charity places for the events listed below. If the event 🏆🏊🏼🪂🏃🏼 you are interested in is not shown, feel free to contact us; for some events we can get charity places, for others it's best if you apply for your own non-charity place.
