Challenge Events

At David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (DSWF), we’re encouraging you to embrace the power of outdoor activities to make a positive impact. All across the UK you can find stunning natural landscapes just waiting to be explored. Whether it’s hiking, cycling, swimming, or running, every challenge you take on contributes to our species-saving projects and programmes and the work we support through our Field Partners. Together, we can turn our love for the outdoors into positive change.

Ultra Challenge

Ultra Challenge

Walk for wildlife this year and take on an Ultra Challenge!

Enjoy stunning coastlines, or iconic trails through the most stunning parts  of Britain’s countryside. Pick your very own unforgettable Ultra Challenge from various routes across the UK. Whether you are a walker, jogger or runner, if you’re looking for a challenge whilst achieving something special, then these challenges are for you! With routes from 25-100km this is your challenge your way.

Take part as an individual and make friends along the way or take part as a group with friends and family, all whilst raising vital funds to protect endangered animals from extinction. As you cross the finish line you’ll get a glass of fizz, a t-shirt and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
