Our Favourite Action Challenges
Say you and some friends decide to get together and take on a challenge. Where do you start with the planning? Do you go it alone, or use an experienced company to save you time with the logistics? If it's the latter then our friends at Action Challenge can help. With a range of over 80 challenge events they are geared up to support your fundraising ambitions and flexible enough to offer events for the individual or the team.
So whether it's a cycle to Paris for 250 enthusiastic riders, a group of 20 adventurers coming together to tackle Kilimanjaro, or over 3,000 challengers on foot setting out from London to Brighton – there is no limit to the lengths they will go to bring you the most memorable experiences.
Here are 5 of our favourite must-do Spring/Summer events from their 2014 calendar:
