Challenge Yourself
Do you want to take your fundraising efforts to the next level? Perhaps you’re seasoned in physical challenges and now want to use your skills to help raise funds for Saint Catherine’s. Here you’ll find ideas for challenging fundraising, whether that be through one of our own events or through third party events.
Saint Catherine’s Events
Throughout the year we put on a variety of events for you to get involved with and you can keep up with these on our events page. We also secure places for events like the Great North Run so that you don’t have to go through the hassle of the ballot!
Run
Taking on distance runs is one of the most popular ways of raising money for Saint Catherine’s. You could run a 5k or push yourself all the way to complete a marathon. You can take a look at running events coming up in our area here.

Obstacle
The increasingly popular world of obstacle courses are a great, fun way to challenge yourself and raise vital funds for patient care at the same time. Popular choices for this include Yorkshire Warrior and Tough Mudder – but feel free to find a course you like the look of and go for it!
Walk
There are now many popular walking routes that will push you physically. You could take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks, where you’d ascend Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough or go even further and tackle the National Three Peaks, which involved climbing the highest three peaks in England, Wales and Scotland – Scafell Pike, Mount Snowdon and Ben Nevis.
If you don’t want to climb you could walk along The Cleveland Way or The White Rose Way, both of which are beautifully scenic routes that will take you along of Yorkshire’s most famous and picturesque scenery.
