Ultra 4 Charity

If you're taking part in any of the upcoming races, tell us which charities you are supporting in the comments! 💬

Each race is assigned to certain charities, and 100% of the money raised is split equally between them. At the moment, we are putting on races for charities for these categories:

🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Ultra 4 Veterans
🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Ultra 4 Children
🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Ultra 4 Cancer

This is just a quick, easy rundown of how we work, but you can head to our website for more details: ultra4charity.com

📢 1 WEEK TO GO! 📢

Albania 2026 is almost here! What have we been doing to prepare?

Well, we're setting up all the checkpoints, making sure there is enough water and snacks to go round, and keeping those all-important medals safe.

A big preliminary thank you to the team working on the event this year... we couldn't do it without you guys.

If you've got questions about Albania 2026, this is your last chance to DM and ask them! 📨

If you are looking to take on our Lapland Race and worried about needing to buy gear that you won’t use again. Worry not!

You can rent kit from our partner cold weather school, Pole to Pole

Items like Snow shoes, running spikes, ski poles and large down jackets can be reserved and picked up on arrival into Lapland. Saving you money and space packing bulky items.

All part of our aim to make this the lowest costing cold weather race, accessible for all!

Please reach out if you have any questions and grab a spot in our 2027 Lapland race or you’ll need to wait until 2029 to take part in this amazing event!

🔹CHARITY RUNDOWN: Cancer United

Introducing Cancer United, a wonderful charity that provides exercise programmes, expert coaching and creative wellbeing groups for anyone affected by cancer. They are also one of the charities we raise money for with our Ultra 4 Cancer events.

Founded in West Sussex, but operating beyond, Cancer United helps people rebuild confidence, strength, and overall wellbeing by not just hosting exercise classes, but by creating opportunities to meet others through choir practice, creative groups, and community meets.

And their impact is unmissable: 96% of participants say their fitness and wellbeing have improved since working with Cancer United.

Also, 71% feel more hopeful about their future.

That's why we want to provide as much support as possible.

Head over to Cancer United's official website to see how you can get involved, or donate: cancerunited.org.uk

We get it; it happens! 🫣

Sometimes participants can't finish their intended distance or event for whatever reason.

If you are unable to continue in the event, you will be dropped off and held at the nearest checkpoint until a vehicle is available to take you to the finish line.

If you are on day one of a two day event, then you can either stay in the campsite as planned or be taken back to the race hotel.

For the extra night, you will have to book your own accommodation, but we are happy to help with suggestions.

If you wish to leave the event early and return to the airport ahead of the organised transfer, that's absolutely fine! It'll be up to you to plan your transport, but we will be happy to support you along the way.

📩 If you want to know more about how our events work, just drop us a message.

⛰️ In less than a month, our teams will be ankle-deep in the Albanian mountains, running or walking for our veteran charities.

We can't believe how quickly the time has gone, but we are pumped to return to the mountains.

Tell us, if you're joining us in Albania, what are you looking forward to the most? 👇

If you've ever run or walked one of our Ultra 4 Charuty Veteran ultramarathons, these are the charities where your money went to 👇

As a veteran-owned organisation ourselves, supporting veteran and military charities is close to our heart, and we are incredibly lucky to do so.

All the money raised is split equally between the charities, and it goes directly to them — we don't take a cut.

If you want to learn more about the charities we support, feel free to send us a DM.

We think the best way to make new friends is on a long hike or run...

It's amazing to see new connections being made at our events whilst tackling a tough challenge through gorgeous (but tough!) terrain.

There's something about pushing yourself with a like-minded group of people that fosters unique friendships, and we couldn't be prouder.

Who knows, you might meet your next best friend at an Ultra 4 Charity event!
