Sponsored challenge events
Take on a challenge event for CAFOD. From running to cycling, to swimming to trekking - there's a challenge for everyone.
What an incredible day we had at this year’s Royal Parks Half Marathon!
We had five fantastic runners fundraising directly for CAFOD, joined by two of our London Marathon runners who proudly wore their CAFOD vests to show their support. Once you join Team CAFOD, you’re always part of the team — vest and all!
Go Alastair!
The atmosphere on race day was brilliant. The weather was cool and perfect for running, and although the course was hillier than expected, everyone pushed through with enthusiasm and determination. We caught up with the runners at the end of mile six, and their energy was contagious! There were so many wonderful organisations represented, and we’re so proud that CAFOD had such a great team out there.
After the race, we were able to meet everyone, celebrate their achievements, and take some great photos together.
Ana Ingles, one of our runners said, “I ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon last year and this year for CAFOD because the charity reaches out for those in most need, and that’s very much what I believe in”

She continues, “The race experience was great with all the people supporting but when I just wanted to have a quiet moment, I listened to calm music. The last 4 km were really hard but the determination to finish kept me going!”
Our amazing team has already raised just over £3,000 and counting! You can sponsor the them on JustGiving.
Well done to Martin and the rest of the team
