Support Us > Challenge & Running Events

Active and adventurous? Or just looking to get fit and have a laugh with some mates? Either way, our Challenge and Running Events could be just what you've been looking for.

Challenge yourself – and raise much needed funds to care for hundreds of neglected, injured and sick animals – by running, jumping, trekking, rafting, cycling or sledding at a variety of locations.

Set up your own online fundraising page for the easiest way to gain sponsorship! Download our fact sheet to see how.

Running

You needn’t be an experienced athlete to take part in an event and raise funds for RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic or Bristol Dogs & Cats Home.  Why not consider the Bristol Half Marathon. Its attractive course and fast times, have made it the UK’s second most popular half-marathon race. 

Of course there are a range of other events you can get involved in, both here in the UK and abroad. They include:

• The Bath Half Marathon
• Cirencester 10K Race
• The Great South Run
• The Pensford 10K Race
• The New York Marathon 
• The Paris Marathon

If you’d like to take part and raise money for animals in need, please get in touch.

In return for raising sponsorship, you’ll get one of our t-shirts to run in and a special pack with training guides and advice on how to reach your sponsorship goal.

For more information contact Rusti on 0117 3003968 or email rusti@rspca-bristol.org.uk.

Adventure Challenges

Trek in the footsteps of the Incas in Peru; drive a team of huskies through a frozen Lapland, the Aurora Borealis overhead; hack a path through the Borneo jungle; white-water raft down the mighty Zambezi River or cycle through the Canadian Rockies.

These and many more Adventure Challenges are available to those seeking to raise money for the RSPCA Bristol Animal Clinic or Bristol Dogs & Cats Home.

In partnership with experienced adventure tour operators, Global Adventure Challenges, we can offer you the experience of a lifetime. And while you’re enjoying the challenge of the great outdoors abroad, you’ll be raising funds for animal welfare back home.

If you’re up to the challenge and want more information contact Rusti on 0117 3003968 or email rusti@rspca-bristol.org.uk.

Skydiving 

Jump into the wide blue yonder and experience one of the most exhilarating thrills going by taking on our skydiving challenge.

Raise the minimum sponsorship (request pack for details) and you will be undertaking a freefall tandem skydive with a fully-qualified parachuting instructor, for free!

Freefall from two miles high at speeds of 120mph for 40 seconds before the parachute drifts you down to earth.

The thrill of the jump and the view of a lifetime will be coupled with the knowledge that you are helping literally thousands of animals in need.

To request an information pack please call Rusti on 0117 3003968 or email                       rusti@rspca-bristol.org.uk.
