Running and Challenge Fundraising

If you’re taking on a physical challenge to raise money, we’ve got you covered, whatever your fitness level.

There are a variety of different physical challenges you can undergo, or email our fundraising whizz, Laura, at fundraising@cbituk.org if your idea or event isn’t listed.

Running

Grab your trainers and get active for children and their families supported by CBIT. From 5k to 26.2 miles, or maybe even more, how far will you go?

Cycling

Grab your bike (and your very important helmet), and get active for children and their families supported by CBIT. From laps of the local park to Lands End to John O’Groats, or maybe even more, how far will you go?

Swimming

Grab your goggles and get active for children and their families supported by CBIT. From the pool, open freshwater or the sea, where will you complete your challenge?

Hiking

Grab your hiking boots and get active for children and their families supported by CBIT. From a gentle ramble to a long arduous scramble, where will you walk?

5K May: Move for Childhood Acquired Brain Injury

This May, every step tells a story. Join us for 5K May, a powerful, feel-good challenge that brings people together to move with purpose and make a real difference for children and families affected by childhood acquired brain injury.

Whether you walk, run, wheel, jog, or swim your 5K is more than a distance; it’s a statement of support, a moment of connection, and a step towards a brighter future.

Together, we’re turning movement into momentum, raising vital funds, and showing families they are not alone.

Join our Strava Group

Strava is a popular fitness app that allows people to track their walks, runs, cycles, and other activities, while connecting with a wider community for motivation and support. For our fundraisers, joining the CBIT Strava group creates a powerful sense of connection, turning individual efforts into a shared journey.

It’s a space where supporters can celebrate milestones, encourage one another, and stay accountable, all while visibly contributing to something bigger than themselves. By sharing progress and stories along the way, fundraisers not only stay motivated but also help raise awareness of childhood brain injury, showing others the collective impact of every mile completed.

Acquired brain injury can happen to any child, at any moment, and when it does, it changes everything for the whole family.
