Thames Path Ultra Challenge®
England’s greatest river provides a fantastic backdrop for an unforgettable challenge, which you can take on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for Rainbows! Over 3000 adventurers will join the Putney Bridge start, and the full 100km route heads upstream to Henley along the famous Towpath. It’s through Richmond, Hampton Court, Runnymede, and Windsor, with some wonderful scenery to a riverside finish line. Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T shirt and celebration finish. With 50km & 25km options also available – there’s a Thames Path Challenge for everyone!

Why fundraise for Rainbows?
We can’t do the work we do without your support, so in addition to everything provided by Ultra Challenge, Rainbows will provide:
- A dedicated member of the fundraising team to support you
- A Supporting Rainbows technical t-shirt when you raise £100
- A fundraising guide, as well as fundraising advice, hints and tips in the build up to the event
- Access to a range of Rainbows fundraising materials (collection boxes, posters, balloons etc.) to make any events you hold look amazing
By fundraising for Rainbows you will be helping to support babies, children, young people and their families living with life-shortening, or life-threatening conditions here in the East Midlands.
We support every baby, child and young person to fulfil their potential, and help families make the most of every precious moment, while capturing memories and keepsakes to treasure. We’re here for the whole family, offering comfort and compassion during tough times, providing the highest level of professional care until the end, and support after. Simply put, we’re here to brighten short lives, and support families, wherever they are.
Every penny you raise, will help support our vital work here at the Hospice, in the local community and in hospitals.
