General Questions
What is Challenges 4 Humanity?

Challenges 4 Humanity is a charity events organisation that runs fitness & adventure challenges (cycling, running, hiking, skydiving etc.) to raise money for vital causes like food, clean water, medical care, orphan support and income-generating projects.


What is your mission?

We believe challenge events can both inspire participants and make a real difference. Our mission is to bring people together through adventurous events that support charitable causes and transform communities.


Who do you partner with / who do you support?

We collaborate with UK charities and international initiatives. One key partner is One Nation, which operates on a 100% donation policy (so every contribution goes directly to the cause).


Events & Participation
What types of events do you run?

We offer a range of challenges: cycling (multi-day or single day), running, walking / hiking, skydiving, etc. Some are local, others international.


How can I take part?

You can join any of our upcoming challenges listed on the site (see “Challenges”). Once you sign up, there will normally be information about the route, what is included, support, fundraising expectations, etc. We also provide training resources or guidance where relevant.


Do I need to be experienced?

No. We cater to a range of fitness and experience levels. There are easier / shorter challenges for beginners and tougher ones for more experienced participants. Training / preparation advice is provided.


What does it cost to participate?

Typically there will be a registration fee, possibly covering logistics, support, insurance, route planning, etc. There may also be a minimum fundraising target associated with certain challenges. (Exact cost depends on the event.)


What is included in my registration?

This may include things like route support, medical or first aid coverage, some meals or refreshment stops, route maps, accommodation (if applicable), a jersey or event kit, etc. Details will be provided for each event.


Fundraising & Donations
How does fundraising work?

After signing up, you will be given or guided to a fundraising platform. You commit to raising donations for one or more beneficiary charities. Full details of the fundraising target (if there is one) are specified with the event.


Where does my donation go?

Funds raised via Challenges 4 Humanity events go to the charitable causes we partner with (food, water, health, etc.). With partners like One Nation, 100% of the donations go to the cause. Some costs (logistics of running the events) are covered via registration fees or sponsors.


Are donations tax-deductible / eligible for Gift Aid (UK)?

Yes, where applicable. If you donate via approved UK charities, Gift Aid can be applied to increase the value of your donation. Always check the specific event or charity page to confirm the eligibility.


Logistics & Safety
What kind of support is provided during events?

There is usually full route support (e.g. guide / marshals, medical backup, refreshment points), safety oversight, maps, advice, and sometimes mechanical / bike repair support on cycling events.


What about accommodation and travel?

For multi-day events (especially international), participants are responsible for their own travel to/from the start (unless arranged otherwise). Accommodation may be arranged by the organisers or participants, depending on the challenge; this will be specified for each event.


What should I bring / what equipment is needed?

That depends on the event: for cycling, a suitable bike, helmet, repair kit, appropriate clothing, etc. For hiking, weather-appropriate gear, good footwear, etc. Event packs often include “What to bring” checklists.


What happens in case of bad weather or emergencies?

Events may be delayed, re-routed, or in extreme situations cancelled if safety is at risk. Medical support is available during the event. Participants will be informed of contingency plans.


Sponsorships & Partnerships
Can I sponsor an event?

Yes — we welcome sponsorship. There are usually several levels (Silver, Gold, Platinum etc.), which come with visibility benefits. Sponsorship helps cover event costs and maximise the donation that reaches the charity.


How do companies / organisations get involved?

Corporate partners can sponsor events, set up teams, or support via in-kind donations (equipment, expos, media, etc.). Contact us for corporate sponsorship info.


After the Event
How do I get my results / proof of completion?

After the event, participants often receive certificates, photos or summaries. If you completed a cycling or hiking challenge, details will be shared via email or via the event page.


What happens to the funds I raised if I can’t complete the event?

Raised funds generally still go to the charity unless there is a specific event policy stating otherwise. If you withdraw, check the fundraising terms; donors may be refunded under certain circumstances, or funds redirected.


Can I change my event or withdraw?

Yes, but only under specific terms. Please check the event-specific policy. There may be a deadline for changes or withdrawals, and there may be fees or conditions attached.
