ACTIVITY CHALLENGES TO KEEP YOU ACTIVE
Having an activity challenge or goal is a great way to keep yourself motivated. With many of the regular, organised events postponed last year, taking part in a local challenge could be just what you need.
They’re sometimes linked to a local charity as well, which is even better!
We’ll update this page with more challenges as they become available, or if you’re thinking about setting one up, please get in touch with us by emailing [email protected]
BURY TO CLARE CHALLENGE – 8 MAY 2022

The route will be marked. The challenge is to complete the challenge within 8 hrs.

SUNDAY 19 JUNE – Hoot Hike Sponsored 5K Walk
Join St Elizabeth Hospice for their first ever Hoot Hike sponsored walk to kick off our summer of fun when we bring The Big Hoot Art Trail to Ipswich. The Hoot Hike will take place on the 19 of June and will be your first chance to see the sculpture trail with lots of fun activities along the way.
SUNDAY 19 JUNE – THE ORWELL CHALLENGE
THE biggest multi-charity fundraiser event in Suffolk organised by The Rotary Club of East Ipswich.
Online registration for this year’s Orwell Challenge is now open. We highly advise you to register online, as it speeds up the signing in process on the day and ensures that you receive a commemorative medal and a t-shirt — should you choose to buy one when you sign up for the walk (all marathon and half marathon runners receive one, included in their entry fee).
