Take on an active challenge
Getting active for CAFOD couldn't be easier!
For balloted running events, such as the London Marathon or Great North Run, you can apply for a CAFOD charity place. Check out our Run for CAFOD page for more information.
You can also find your own challenge event, either by purchasing your own place or asking CAFOD to secure your place, following these simple steps:
Choose the challenge event you'd like to take part in. You can browse these on sites like Sport for Charity or just by searching the internet.
Contact us or the event organiser to sign up and secure your place.
If you've purchased your own place, let us know so we can support you every step of the way.
By buying your own place in an event, you'll save CAFOD this upfront cost and we can ensure all of your sponsorship goes towards our essential work overseas. We won't set you a sponsorship target but will support you in raising as much as you can.
If you'd prefer for CAFOD to buy your place, and save you this cost, we are more than happy to do so. We will set you a sponsorship target and support you to smash your goal.
If you'd like some help with finding the right event for you, please get in touch with the events team by emailing events@cafod.org.uk. We'd love to hear from you!
