Are you an adventurous athlete looking to make a difference on your journey?
Every year our fantastic community of event goers raise thousands of pounds for great causes. In 2021 alone, participants raised over £72,500 off the back of completing Endurancelife events. We’d love to encourage YOU to take on one of our formidable and tough challenges and raise some funds for a cause close to your heart. Our Charity Entry Scheme offers FREE entries to any Endurancelife event for those who pledge and raise a minimum of £400 for their chosen charity.
Let's do this!
1 > Sign up to any Endurancelife event and pay in the normal way.
2 > Start an online fundraising campaign (such as Justgiving) and tell your friends and family about the touch challenge you have ahead of you!
3 > Once you have completed your event, simply login to your Endurancelife account and provide us with your online fundraising link. We will then process a 100% refund of your original entry fee.
Important terms:
You must provide the fundraising proof within 30 days post event, we will then then verify your fundraising total is over £400 and refund your entry fee.
The fundraising page must include a) the specific Endurancelife event title and b) a link to the event webpage and c) your name (raising funds as part of a group or team effort is fine so long as your name is clearly listed on the page). These details must remain on the page ad-infinitum and can not be updated or removed at a later date.
The fundraising amount must total £400 per person, for example: if you have two participants raising money for one event, the total raised must be at least £800.
The total raised must be £400 per event, for example: if you are raising money by undertaking 4 events, the total raised must be at least £1600.
Fundraising must be directly for a registered charity (UK or overseas), it can not be crowdfunding.
By refunding your entry we reserve the right to list publicly your name, fundraising total, chosen charity and online fundraising page.
We are looking to populate this page fully soon with each and every amazing fundraiser but until then we have plucked out Trevor Lee as a great example of what you can do!
Trevor Lee
Trevor completed the Classic Quarter in 2021. He raised an incredible £6,630.00 for Children's Hospice South West and from Trevor's fundraising page you can read more about this and his self-titled "44 at 60" challenge (44 miles of the Classic Quarter in his 60th year).
Well done Trevor, great job!

By far the biggest way we can help fund charitable organisations is via our free event entry scheme (see preceding tabs). In addition to this we have operated a number of effective fundraising campaigns over the years. Three examples are listed below.
Since 2019 we have been helping Go Beyond provide free activity breaks to disadvantaged children from all over the UK. We do this (primarily) by encouraging customers to donate a small amount within our online checkout. To really make this effective we pledge to contribute £0.50 every time someone donates in this way. We are really delighted with the success of this scheme; thank you to everyone who has contributed! The figures listed below are our running totals with this scheme since it started.
Customer donations through check-out: £18,802.00
Corresponding Giftaid: £3,911.00
Endurancelife contribution: £5,549.50
Total: £28,262.50
In 2012 we raised over £10,000 for Go Beyond (formerly Chicks) off the back of our Real Relay event. This was a free to enter relay event which replicated the route of the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay. More information can be found on the Wikipedia page.
From 2009 to 2011 we donated £1 per entry across our trail running portfolio. This, alongside voluntary online donations from customers, raised nearly £20,000 for the National Trust.
