Ultra 4 Charity

Foxy, Woody and Frenchy have all been affected by physical and mental wounds through their service.

Each of them has found that physical fitness, and the aim of demanding challenges, has a huge positive effect on their mental health, whilst also being able to support others who need the help and support of charities.

This has all led them to founding Ultra 4 Charity.

They are putting on affordable but demanding ultra-adventures that will help to give people a goal to train towards and challenges to take on with like-minded people.

All to raise awareness and much-needed funds for some fantastic charities.

And they aren't stopping any time soon. 💪

Albania is one of the most beautiful countries we've ever experienced.

From traversing the incredible Ceraunian Mountains to seeing the old Roman Theater in the beautiful Butrint National Park, there really is nothing like it.

We're excited — are you? 🎉

🔎 A common question we get asked is how to train for an ultramarathon.

You can follow a normal marathon training guide, and this will put you in a good position for the event.

Or, you can follow our specific event training guides that are made for each distance and broken down into competitor or completer mode, all coached by the amazing Abz.

As a certified Physical Training Instructor, he's trained recruits and prepared serving soldiers for the physical and mental demands of two operational tours in Afghanistan, so Abz is your guy for preparing for an ultramarathon.

Just choose your distance and whether you're competing or completing, and download the training pack. Simple.

Training can be found here: https://ultra4charity.com/training/

🔹CHARITY RUNDOWN: Street Child

Every child deserves the right to an education.

And that's exactly what Street Child is working on, one of our children's charities that we raise money for every year.

They provide emergency aid and mental health support, build schools, train teachers, reunite families, develop livelihoods, and help out-of-school children into education.

Since the charity's birth in 2008, Street Child has:

🔶 Reached 1,662,889 children
🔶 Supported 1,096 schools through construction or renovation
🔶 Supported 253,139 adults with programmes such as the family business scheme

We want to ensure Street Child continues its dedicated work by supporting their fundraising efforts, which is why we built our Ultra 4 Children running and walking events.

Our next one is in Albania in 2027. We can't wait to see everyone there.
