The Charmouth Challenge and Fun Run events have been the mainstay of Charmouth Primary School PTFA’s fundraising income since 1983, making a difference to the lives of generations of school children. Like many charities in these unprecedented times, the PTFA has not been able to run this event recently, which has severely impacted their budget.
How can you help?
Take part in our virtual races!
For over 18's, there is the Charmouth Challenge: traditionally an 8 mile fell run for over 18’s which has been held since 1983 on the Jurassic Coast, taking in Stonebarrow Hill and Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast. This virtual version challenges you to run, walk, skip or hop 8 miles anywhere during the month of July, supporting the PTFA with your entry donation. All entries will receive a hand crafted locally made eco medal. Race times can be entered more than once over the race period, the fastest time will be automatically selected. When entering your completed time use Strava or similar to validate. Permissions have not been granted from various landowners to use the traditional route.
Cost £10 plus fees
For families, those who prefer a shorter run and under 18’s, there is the Fun Run: traditionally a 2 mile run held alongside the longer Charmouth Challenge, looping from the school grounds, up Stonebarrow Lane and back down the cliff path to school. This virtual version asks you to have fun by running, walking, skipping or hopping 2 miles anywhere during the month of July, supporting the PTFA with your entry donation. You could even do it in fancy dress! All entries will receive a hand crafted locally made eco medal. Race times can be entered more than once over the race period, the fastest time will be automatically selected. Permissions have not been granted from various landowners to use the traditional route.
Cost £5 plus fees
