BHF Challenges 2025

Being active doesn’t mean you need to join a gym or run a marathon it can be something like gardening or doing the housework. Any movement in your day is great for heart health.  However, if you want to set yourself a challenge for 2025, secure a free place in one of the following events and raise lifesaving funds for our National Charity Partner British Heart Foundation!

If you want to sign up to something that is not on this list, you can still fundraise for BHF. Just secure your place and visit this page to download BHF's fundraising pack and information on how to set up a SponsorMe fundraising page.
