Our volunteer crews need your help
Every time an RNLI crew launches, they are determined to save every one. But they can’t do that without you. By taking on the challenge and raising vital funds, you’ll be helping keep our volunteers safe.
When you've raised £125/€125, you will have reached your fundraising target and earned your challenge medal! And once you've completed your 24 miles, you can sit back, crack open the mince pies, and enjoy being a lifesaver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the challenge work?
We’re asking everyone who takes on the challenge to run 24 miles throughout December. When you register, a fundraising page will be automatically created, which you can share with your friends and family. Then all you need to do is choose how you’d like to tackle the challenge, lace up your hooves and get running!
Do I need to run 1 mile every day?
No, you decide how you would like to tackle the challenge. Running 1 mile every day for 24 days is one option. You could even walk it – on average, it takes just 20 minutes to walk a mile.
It is up to you how you would like to face the challenge. Running 24 miles throughout December is no mean feat, so make sure to plan your runs so they fit into your lifestyle.
Where does the event take place?
The Reindeer Run is a virtual event, and you decide when and where you want to complete your runs. Just choose your favourite place to run and get started.
How do I pay in my fundraising?
If you receive any cash donations, you can bank them yourself and transfer the amount to your online fundraising page. Every contribution makes a real, lifesaving difference.
Is there an age limit to take part?
You must be aged 18 or over to register for the Reindeer Run. Under 18s are welcome to participate, but they must be registered by someone over 18.
