The Reindeer Run Challenge 2025 has now closed.

Thanks to your incredible support, over £195,000 was raised - helping ensure RNLI volunteer crews are always ready to launch when the call for help comes in. Check back in October for details on how to take part in the Reindeer Run Challenge 2026.

What your fundraising means

Winter is one of the most dangerous times for our volunteer lifeboat crews. Your support helps fund the equipment, training and support they need to launch into cold, stormy seas – and bring people home safely. 

Because of you, our crews will be ready when the call comes, day or night.
