Go Active

Feeling energetic? Want to get healthy? Need a challenge?

From runs, walks, cycling events or swims through to something more extreme like abseiling, white water rafting, jumping out of a plane or taking part in an overseas challenge…there are plenty of ways you can support St Christopher’s and get active at the same time.

Our Events

Runners wanted

St Christopher’s Hospice has places in all the major central London runs this year and is already taking registrations to fill them.  We are looking for people who want a challenge, are looking to get active and most importantly want to support their local hospice by raising funds and awareness. We have runs for all types of supporters.

• Why not try the Super Hero 5k (May) if you’re new to running, it’s a great one for the kids too as over eights can take part and all participants get a choice of super hero costume to wear on the day!! 
• Bupa London 10,000 10k (May) - this hugely popular run starts in beautiful Hyde Park and takes you through a central London route.  Chip timing is included and the course is part of the 2012 Olympic Marathon route - places are going fast!
• British 10k (July) - this race is just 19 days before the start of the Olympics and takes in many of the famous sights of the Olympic Marathon route.  Chip timing, SMS text of your finish time and an official photograph are all included as well as Heather Small starting you all off by singing ‘Proud’ at the start ceremony on Piccadilly! 
• Need more of a challenge? Run to the Beat powered by Nike + half marathon (October), is the ultimate way to finish the summer running season!  This is a foot pounding, incredibly sweaty 13.1 miles, starting at the O2 and taking you on a music-filled route through Greenwich and South East London.  It typically has 14 stages of live music to get you through, with artists and DJs announced nearer to the day. Places go fast!

Challenges

Climbing mountains, trekking deserts, swimming the Thames, cycling the length of England, riding around the world...

We are thrilled to already have a team of 14 individual people taking part in challenges of every type to raise money for St Christopher's in 2012.  If there is a year to do it it’s this one, so whether you want to get involved with cycling, trekking, riding, climbing or jumping get in touch!!

Parachuting

If you have ever wanted to do a parachute jump here is your chance. St Christopher's Hospice is looking for adventure seekers to make a fundraising parachute jump and raise money for the hospice.

St Christopher’s have special jump dates throughout the year, but you can always choose a date more suitable to you.
